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 2025/26.
HSUHK registered full-time local undergraduate students can apply for FASP and/or NLSPS through the E-submission Platform “eWFSFAA”,

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 16 January 2026.
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.
