STUDENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Government Financial Assistance

The Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency (WFSFAA) of the Government administers three financial assistance schemes: the means-tested Tertiary Student Finance Scheme - Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS), Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students (FASP) and the Non-means Tested Loan Scheme (NLS). Applicants must have the right of abode in Hong Kong or have resided or have their homes in Hong Kong continuously for three complete years prior to the commencement of their programmes. The above schemes do not cover students staying in Hong Kong holding student visas.

1.1

Tertiary Student Finance Scheme - Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS)

UGC-funded full-time students can apply for TSFS. Financial assistance under the TSFS is provided in the form of grant and/or loan. The grant is to cover tuition fees and academic expenses. The loan is for living expenses and is interest-bearing at the rate of 1.0% per annum, chargeable from the commencement of the repayment period which begins upon the student's graduation or leaving the University. The loan is repayable in 180 monthly instalments within 15 years after graduation or termination of the study.

Students who are successful applicants of the TSFS, reside more than 10 minutes' walking distance away from their normal place of study and need to travel to school by public transport may be eligible for a travel subsidy. Postgraduate students and hall residents are not eligible.

The level of grant and/or loan offered in each case is determined by adjusted family income and net asset value per household member in relation to the tuition fees payable by the student and the academic expenses to be incurred on the student's particular programme of studies. Normally, applications are open to continuing students in May and new students in September. Applicants should refer to the updated information on the intranet.

Additional financial assistance in the form of grant may be awarded to the successful applicants of TSFS if they are required to participate in compulsory overseas immersion programme or field trip (Training / Internship / Placement / Exchange Programme will not be considered) which constitutes the essential part of the programme. As the field trip/immersion programme is compulsory, it is presumed that all students of the same programme of study will be required to attend the field trip/immersion programme. Upon receiving further information on expenses of compulsory field trips of the TSFS applicants for the whole academic year from institutions, the WFSFAA will reassess the financial entitlements of all the relevant applicants and inform them of the revised financial entitlements accordingly. Therefore, applicants need not inform the WFSFAA of the compulsory immersion/field trip details individually or request a review of the application on the grounds of expenses incurred on an overseas compulsory field trip.

Undergraduate students who have passed the means test of TSFS (i.e. with grant offered) and confirmed to have resided in student hostels provided by their institutions for at least 75% of the time during the semesters are eligible for the hostel subsidy. The subsidy is to be disbursed on a semester basis. Eligible students need not file separate applications for the hostel subsidy. In the 2023/24 academic year, the amount of subsidy will be equal to the actual hostel fee payable (after deducting any other hostel subsidies or waivers) or $10,190 per year / $5,095 per semester, whichever is lower. The actual amount of subsidy receivable by each eligible undergraduate is to be determined with respect to the student's level of assistance assessed in the means test.

Additional academic expenses grant for students with special educational needs may be awarded to the successful applicants of TSFS if they are confirmed by a relevant professional as having at least one kind of special educational needs including Specific Learning Difficulties, Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Physical Disability, Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment, Speech and Language Impairment and Mental Illness. Eligible applicants who wish to apply for the additional academic expenses grant should complete and return the request form to the WFSFAA by 31 March 2024. In the 2023/24 academic year, the amount of grant is up to $9,630. The actual amount of subsidy receivable by each eligible undergraduate is to be determined with respect to the student's level of assistance assessed in the means test.

1.2

Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students (FASP)

Students aged 30 or below pursuing full-time locally accredited, self-financing post-secondary education programmes at the level of higher diploma, degree or top-up degree may apply for FASP. Financial assistance under the FASP is provided in the form of grant and/or loan. The grant is to cover tuition fees (subject to a ceiling amount) and academic expenses. The loan is for living expenses and is interest-bearing at the rate of 1.0% per annum, chargeable from the commencement of the repayment period which begins upon the student's graduation or leaving the University. The loan is repayable in 180 monthly instalments within 15 years after graduation or termination of the study. Students who are successful applicants of the FASP, reside more than 10 minutes' walking distance away from their normal place of study and need to travel to school by public transport may be eligible for a travel subsidy. Hall residents are not eligible.

The level of grant and/or loan offered in each case is determined by adjusted family income and net asset value per household member in relation to the tuition fees payable by the student and the academic expenses to be incurred on the student's particular programme of studies. Normally, applications are open to continuing students in May and to new students in September. Applicants should refer to the updated information on the intranet.

Undergraduate students who have passed the means test of FASP (i.e. with grant offered) and confirmed to have resided in student hostels provided by their institutions for at least 75% of the time during the semesters are eligible for the hostel subsidy. The subsidy is to be disbursed on a semester basis. Eligible students need not file separate applications for the hostel subsidy. In the 2023/24 academic year, the amount of subsidy will be equal to the actual hostel fee payable (after deducting any other hostel subsidies or waivers) or $10,190 per year / $5,095 per semester, whichever is lower. The actual amount of subsidy receivable by each eligible undergraduate is to be determined with respect to the student's level of assistance assessed in the means test.

Additional academic expenses grant for students with special educational needs may be awarded to the successful applicants of FASP if they are confirmed by a relevant professional as having at least one kind of special educational needs including Specific Learning Difficulties, Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Physical Disability, Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment, Speech and Language Impairment and Mental Illness. Eligible applicants who wish to apply for the additional academic expenses grant should complete and return the request form to the WFSFAA by 31 March 2024. In the 2023/24 academic year, the amount of grant is up to $9,630. The actual amount of subsidy receivable by each eligible undergraduate is to be determined with respect to the student's level of assistance assessed in the means test.

1.3

Non-means Tested Loan Scheme (NLS)

TThe NLS operates on a full-cost recovery basis. Interest rate is charged at the Government's no-gain-no-loss rate which will be reviewed by the end of each month and if adjustment is to be made, the adjusted rate will take effect from the first day of the following month. Interest is accrued at the prevailing NLS interest rate upon loan drawdown and throughout the study period until the NLS loan is repaid in full. An administration fee to cover the full costs of processing and administering the NLS loans is chargeable for each application and annually thereafter until the NLS loan(s) and the interests are fully repaid. The administration fee is subject to review annually. The NLS loan(s) and the interest accrued are repayable in 180 equal monthly instalments within 15 years after graduation or termination of the study.

The NLS provides loans to students of eligible full-time and part-time programmes:

(a)	For Students who are Eligible for TSFS Eligible full-time students who have applied for assistance under the TSFS may also consider applying for loans under the Non-means Tested Loan Scheme for Full-time Tertiary Students (NLSFT) to settle their tuition fees upon receipt of TSFS results. Alternatively, students can submit a separate application for NLSFT only. Normally, applications are open to continuing students in May and new students in September. Applicants should refer to the updated information on the intranet. NLSFT loans are solely used to settle tuition fees and will be paid directly to academic institutions concerned. Students who receive financial assistance under the TSFS may obtain loans under the NLSFT up to the difference between the maximum financial assistance under the TSFS and the amount of financial assistance they may receive under the TSFS, subject to the NLSFT loan maximum (equivalent to the tuition fees payable) not being exceeded. Students who fail to obtain assistance under the TSFS or have not applied for assistance under the TSFS may apply for NLSFT loans up to the maximum amount of their tuition fees payable.
(b)	For Students who are Eligible for FASP Eligible full-time students who have applied for assistance under the FASP may also consider applying for loans under the Non-means Tested Loan Scheme for Post-secondary Students (NLSPS) to settle their tuition fees upon receipt of FASP results. Alternatively, students can submit a separate application for NLSPS only. Applicants should refer to the updated information on the intranet. NLSPS loans will be paid to the designated bank accounts of the students. Students who receive financial assistance under the FASP may obtain loans under the NLSPS up to the difference between the amount of financial assistance they may receive under the FASP and the maximum financial assistance they may receive under the FASP and NLSPS, subject to the NLSPS loan maximum (equivalent to the tuition fee payable) not being exceeded. Students who fail to obtain assistance under the FASP or have not applied for assistance under the FASP may apply for NLSPS loans up to the maximum amount of their tuition fees payable.
(c)	For Students of Part-time Programmes or Full-time Self-financing Postgraduate Programmes who are not eligible for TSFS or FASP Students pursuing part-time programmes or full-time self-financing postgraduate programmes may apply for the Extended Non-means-tested Loan Scheme (ENLS) to settle tuition fees. The maximum amount of loan is the total tuition fees payable in the academic year. Students may apply for an ENLS loan if all or part of the tuition fees have been paid (provided that the course has not been completed at the time of application) or they have not paid any part of the tuition fees. Applications must be submitted to the WFSFAA in person. The deadline for application for the 2023/24 academic year is 31 July 2024 and all the lectures of course(s) under application for the 2023/24 academic year have not been completed at the time of application submission. A list of eligible courses is available on the WFSFAA's home page.
