Mr and Mrs Ho Engineering Scholarship

The Mr and Mrs Ho Engineering Scholarship supports undergraduate engineering students at the University of Queensland who demonstrate financial need. This scholarship was established in 2019 under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and is maintained by an endowed gift from an alumnus to honour their parents. The scholarship provides annual funding equal to the income from the endowment for up to three years. Mr and Mrs Ho are good role models to family, friends and the wider community. Mr Ho was the first of five siblings to receive a state-sponsored scholarship to pursue a diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 1971 and built a successful career spanning Malaysia and Indonesia. Mrs Ho, the eldest of 7 siblings, grew the family business helping to put her siblings through school. Together they have been loving and dedicated to their three children, all of whom completed their university studies and are contributing members of society. The scholarship aims to support students facing financial hardship who are enrolled full-time in approved engineering programs including the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Engineering, or dual engineering programs. Selection considers evidence of financial hardship, leadership achievements, community service and engagement, academic achievements, and other factors relevant to future academic success.
