The Tertiary Student Finance Scheme (TSFS) provides means-tested
financial assistance to full-time students who are in need. It aims to
ensure that no eligible student who has been offered a place in one of
the institutions covered by this scheme would be unable to accept it because
of lack of means. Financial assistance is provided in the form of a grant
and/or loan. The grant is to cover tuition fees, academic expenses and
compulsory union fees. The loan is for living expenses and is interest-bearing
at 2.5% per annum chargeable from the commencement of the repayment period.
Full-time students up to their first degree level living off-campus can
apply for a travel subsidy. Additional financial assistance in the form
of grant may be awarded to students if they are required to attend overseas
compulsory field trip.
Students with financial needs are strongly encouraged to apply for the TSFS. Each year, the application period is normally late April/early May for continuing students, and early September for new students.
