The largest bank in Hong Kong has been supporting local talent for decades, ensuring the city thrives as an international hub

HSBC is committed to preparing a future-ready talent pool in Hong Kong and has for decades been providing students in the city with scholarships to help them achieve their full potential.

This year, the bank is celebrating two big milestones – HSBC’s 160th anniversary and the 60th anniversary of the HSBC scholarship scheme.

Through its philanthropic arm The Hongkong Bank Foundation, HSBC has helped more than 7,500 students pursue their dreams – in everything from finance to public service and the performing arts – through its scholarship offerings, namely the HSBC Global Scholarship, Innovation and Technology Scholarship, HSBC Hong Kong Scholarship, HSBC Social Work Scholarship and the HSBC Vocational Education Scholarship.

“Hong Kong is a home market for HSBC, and we want to ensure there is a future-ready talent pool for the city,” says Peter Wong, chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) and The Hongkong Bank Foundation. “We are proud to support local talent and create opportunities to help them succeed. It is how we will keep Hong Kong thriving as a welcoming, international city.”
