Apart from the “Peter H.M. Lau Penultimate Year Scholarship” and “Peter H.M. Lau Project Award”, Mr. Lau also supported “Quali-Smart Globalization Scholarship”, through Quali-Smart Holdings Limited, established in 2014. At the donor’s request, this has been funded by the Peter H.M. Lau Fund since 2019-20. In 2025, Mr. Lau further pledged a donation to the Fund, and the Scholarship was renamed “Peter H.M.
