The SFAA will use the "Adjusted Family Income" (AFI) mechanism as the means test to assess the eligibility of a family for student financial assistance and its assistance level. The AFI mechanism is based on the following formula:

AFI =

Gross annual income of the family

Number of family members + (1)


-

Gross annual income of the family includes the annual income of the applicant and his/her spouse; 30% of the annual income of unmarried child / children residing with the family if applicable; and the contribution from relatives / friends if applicable.

-

The members of a family normally refer to the applicant, his/her spouse, unmarried child / children residing with the family and the dependent parent(s) who are supported by the applicant and/or his/her spouse (Please refer to the Guidance Notes on Application for Assessment of Eligibility for definition of “Dependent Parent”).

-

For single-parent families of 2 to 3 members, the ‘plus 1 factor’ in the divisor of the AFI formula will be increased to 2.

For further details of SFAA, please refer to http://www.sfaa.gov.hk/eng/schemes/fts.htm


Other financial awards are offered to encourage students to excel in their respective areas of development and performance.

* All scholarships and grants are provided to recipients after review by the Scholarships Committee upon the availability of appropriate information from the applicants and the availability of financial assistance in each category.
