On the Donor

The Scholarships were established by the belated Mr George Ho (何佐芝), who was a pioneer and guru in broadcasting and telecommunications.  Mr Ho founded Commercial Radio Hong Kong in 1959.  He was also one of the founders of Commercial Television, which was established in 1975, and SmarTone Telecommunications Holdings in 1992.

Mr George Ho founded the Jessie & George Ho Charitable Foundation. In 2011, through the Foundation, Mr Ho set up an endowment fund at HKU to attract and nurture high-calibre research talents. The endowed fund supports the Jessie Ho Memorial Postgraduate Fellowship, the Jessie Ho Professorship in Neuroscience, and the Jessie Ho Professorship in Spine Surgery, which were all named in loving memory of his wife.
