Government Student Financial Assistance Schemes
The Student Finance Office (SFO) of the HKSAR Government provides two financial assistance schemes, namely the Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students (FASP) and the Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Post-secondary Students (NLSPS), to local full-time students pursuing locally-accredited, self-financing post-secondary education programmes in the academic year 2024/25.
HSUHK registered full-time local students can apply for FASP and/or NLSPS through the “SFO E-link – My Applications” .

FAQ: (For local students only)
Application deadline for new students is normally in September.
Deadline for FASP / NLSPS application for the academic year 2024/25 is 27 September 2024.
All applications should be made via “SFO E-link” of the SFO. Please visit the SFO websites for the online demonstration of FASP and NLSPS.
Yes, but the disbursement schedule of your FASP / NLSPS grant or loan, if any, would be delayed. For maintenance of the platform for e-submission of FASP / NLSPS applications and revision of the e-forms for next year, the e-platform for FASP/NLSPS applications will be closed on 17 January 2025.
In general, you will be notified by the SFO of the FASP / NLSPS results after two months upon receipt of an acknowledgement from the SFO. The payment will be disbursed to your personal bank account and will normally be paid in two equal installments.
However, subject to the completion of application and provision of appropriate supporting documents, the releasing time of application result/ payment may vary.
