Government Grants and Loans

If you are admitted to an exclusively UGC funded full-time curriculum and need financial assistance for your studies at the University, you are strongly encouraged to apply for the Tertiary Student Finance Scheme (TSFS) which is a means-tested grant and loan scheme administered by the Student Financial Assistance Agency (SFAA) of the Hong Kong SAR Government. To qualify for assistance, you must have the right of abode in Hong Kong or have resided in Hong Kong continuously for three years prior to admission to the University (this does not cover students studying in Hong Kong on a student visa)

The application form can be downloaded from the SFAA website at http://www.sfaa.gov.hk/. Completed applications should be returned to CEDARS, which provides a form vetting service to all first time applicants. For details, please contact CEDARS at 3/F Meng Wah Complex, tel.: (852) 28592305, email: cedars@hku.hk.

Full-time and part-time students who meet the residency requirements may also apply for a non-means tested loan scheme. Application forms can also be downloaded from the SFAA website.
