Government Non-Means Tested Loan Scheme

Students who have the right of abode in Hong Kong or the right to land in Hong Kong, or students who are permitted to stay in Hong Kong without restriction, or have resided or have had their home in Hong Kong continuously for three complete years before commencing their studies at PolyU (i.e. local students. This does not cover those holding student visas.), are eligible to apply for the Government Non-means Tested Loan Scheme. The scheme offers interest-bearing loans to eligible students for covering tuition fees. An administrative fee and a relatively higher interest rate are charged. Applications are non-means tested, which means that there is no assessment of family's income and assets. For details of the scheme, please refer to the Government's website at www.sfaa.gov.hk/eng/schemes/nlss.htm.
