The Foundation works with institutions to identify and help young artists who have the talent and dedication to devote their lives to the arts. We provide scholarships, fellowships, internships and support for mentoring. We also require that our sponsorship recipients design and carry out activities to “pay it forward” to give back to their community.

Our support is currently limited to students in Hong Kong and China, and we accept applications from institutions rather than individuals.

The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Orchestral Fellowships

These fellowships give outstanding young string musicians from China and Hong Kong the opportunity to apprentice with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra in order to gain orchestral skills and experience as they embark on careers as professional musicians.

The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Scholarships for Outstanding Merit

The Foundation provides full scholarships annually for six outstanding young musicians entering the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts. The scholarships are given for the duration of the course in each of the departments of the music school, namely keyboard, strings, wind instruments, voice, Chinese music and composition.

City Literary Festival, 2007 and 2008

The Foundation has supported the City Literary Festival since 2007, aiming to enhance enthusiasm for Chinese literary writing among talented young authors in Hong Kong and Macao.

The Foundation supported particularly the symposium and exchange forum. We hope to bring lasting inspiration to the young talents by providing them with a lively platform to interact, discuss and learn from a distinguished panel of local and overseas writers.
