Application for Scholarship

Scholarship Schemes

Every year, the Fund invites application for its scholarship schemes:

Scholarship Scheme (Non-local studies)

The scheme is to enable candidates of outstanding calibre to pursue professional training in music or dance at world-renowned institutions or to undertake less formal studies, projects or creative work outside Hong Kong.

Scholarship Scheme (Local studies)

The scheme is to enable candidates of outstanding calibre to pursue post-graduate studies (taught or research programmes) in music or dance at degree-awarding tertiary education institutions in Hong Kong.
(Applications for pursuing music or dance education are continued to be accepted this year.)

Scope of Scholarships

The scope of the two scholarships is not confined to "performer training programmes", i.e. instrumental music or dance studies. Applicants may apply for non-performing studies directly related to music or dance performance, such as composition, choreography, musicology, arts criticism and performance-based research relating to music and dance.

The scholarship scheme (non-local studies) does not support programmes relating to arts administration, music or dance education, and music or dance therapy.

The scholarship scheme (local studies) accepts applications for pursuing music or dance education, but not accept arts administration, and music or dance therapy.
