About the Scheme

The Scheme aims to motivate Hong Kong secondary school students who have distinguished achievements in performing arts to apply for admission to The Academy through the encouragement of their principals.

  • A maximum of 6 nominations for each secondary school, i.e. only 1 recommendation for each of our 6 disciplines, namely Chinese Opera, Dance, Drama, Film and Television, Music, and Theatre and Entertainment Arts

The following special arrangements will be made for the recommended applicants:

  • Waiver of application fee; and

  • Guaranteed audition/interview

The Scheme was first introduced in 2019 for admission in the Academic year 2020/21 and initially each secondary school was only allowed to nominate one distinguished student. In view of the positive feedback, the Academy has increased the quota for nomination to a maximum of six students, one for each School of the Academy, namely the Schools of Chinese Opera, Dance, Drama, Film and Television, Music, and Theatre and Entertainment Arts, in 2020 for admissions from 2021/22 onward.
