About this scholarship:

The Mr and Mrs Ho Engineering 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. Mr and Mrs Ho are good role models to family, friends and the wider community. Mr Ho is the first of five siblings to receive a state-sponsored scholarship to pursue a diploma in Mechanical Engineering in 1971. He has since built a successful career spanning Malaysia and Indonesia. Mrs Ho is the eldest of 7 siblings. She grew the family business helping to put her siblings through school. Together, Mr and Mrs Ho have been loving, dedicated and faithful to their three children, all of whom have completed their university studies and are contributing members of society.
