The Fund was set up in 1980 with a donation of $10 million from The Hong Kong Jockey Club (the Jockey Club) for the promotion and development of music and dance. It is a non-statutory trust fund, administered by a Board of Trustees. In 1994, the Jockey Club injected a further $22 million into the Fund to meet the increasing demand for support. An Investment Committee was formed by the Board to consider investment proposals of fund managers as well as to monitor and oversee the performance of fund manager of the Fund. Scholarships are awarded once a year by the Board for the promotion of music and dance in Hong Kong. The scholarships enable exceptionally talented candidates to pursue integrated programmes of post-diploma studies, post-graduate studies or professional training in music or dance at world-renowned institutions or to undertake less formal studies, projects or creative work outside Hong Kong.
