To promote continuous learning for elderly people, active ageing and intergenerational harmony.

• The Elder Academy Scheme provides funding for primary and secondary schools as well as post-secondary institutions to set up elder academies (EAs) to provide learning opportunities in a school setting for the elderly. Funding is also provided for activities that encourage elderly learning and intergenerational harmony. 
• Each approved EA in a primary or secondary school will be provided with funding of HKD122,000 for implementing a three-year programme. EAs which completed the first three-year programme may apply for funding of HKD60,000 for running a two-year programme.

School-sponsoring bodies of primary and secondary schools as well as post-secondary institutions interested in setting up EAs and organisations interested in organising activities that encourage elderly learning and intergenerational harmony.

Elder Academy Scheme does not accept application all year round. Please visit the Scheme's website for the application periods and application procedures.
