Eligibility
The subsidy is only applicable to local students who are enrolled in eligible self-financing First-year-first-degree (FYFD) programmes or Top-up Degree (TUD) programmes covered by the NMTSS. Non-local students / students already attained any Bachelor’s degree or above qualifications / students enrolling in any subsidised undergraduate or sub-degree programmes are NOT eligible for the subsidy.
The subsidy is tenable for the normal duration of study of the programmes concerned at HSUHK. In case you take longer than the normal duration of study to complete a programme due to academic reasons, such as taking extra modules and/or retaking modules, subsidy is NOT tenable for the study period beyond the normal duration of the programme. In case of study deferment on health or other compassionate grounds, subsidy may be disbursed for the actual study periods, capped by the normal duration of study in total. The University is required to report such cases to EDB before confirmation of subsidy disbursement.
