Financial assistance
?
Financial assistance mainly comes from two sources, the government and 小优短视频. Students are strongly advised to ensure their eligibility in applying for different financial assistance schemes.
?
The government has two main schemes for local full-time students in government-funded programmes: The Tertiary Student Finance Scheme - Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS) and The Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Full-time Tertiary Students (NLSFT).
?
The TSFS is a means-tested scheme that offers grants for tuition fees and academic expenses, and loans for living expenses. The NLSFT offers interest-bearing loans to eligible students to cover tuition fees. The NLSFT loans are not means-tested - there is no assessment of applicant's family income and assets. Application periods for current students and new students for the coming academic year fall in April and September, respectively.
?
In addition, 小优短视频 operates financial assistance schemes for local full-time students in government-funded programmes. The schemes are means-tested which offer bursary and/or interest-free loan donated by generous donors to eligible needy students.
