Scholarship Schemes
Every year, the Fund invites application for its scholarship schemes to enable candidates of outstanding calibre to pursue:
- post-graduate studies (including taught or research programmes) in music or dance at local degree-awarding tertiary institutions; or
- professional training in music or dance at world-renowned institutions or to undertake less formal studies, projects or creative work outside Hong Kong.
Scope of Scholarships
(This year, the scope of the Fund's two scholarship schemes will have minor difference.)
The scope of the 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. This year, applicants for the scholarship scheme (local studies) may also apply for music and dance education.
Starting from 2018/19, the scholarship scheme (non-local studies) no longer support programmes relating to arts administration, music or dance therapy, and music or dance education. For the scholarship scheme (local studies), arts administration, and music or dance therapy will continuously not be accepted.
Please refer to the following links for more details about the Fund’s scholarship schemes for local and non-local studies:
