Financial Assistance Arrangement
1 | Students who have previously benefited from the Financial Assistance Scheme for Designated Evening Adult Education Courses (FAEAEC) are still eligible for tuition fee reimbursement under the DAE Programme. If students have already obtained tuition fee reimbursement under the DAE Programme before they enrol on evening secondary courses provided by an approved course provider under the FAEAEC, they are not eligible for tuition fee reimbursement under the FAEAEC unless they have refunded the HKSAR Government all the reimbursement obtained under the DAE Programme. Besides, if students enrol on both the DAE Programme and the evening secondary courses provided by an approved course provider under the FAEAEC in the same academic year, they are required to choose between receiving tuition fee reimbursement under the DAE Programme or the FAEAEC. If a student studies both the Diploma of Applied Education (DAE) programme and Diploma Yi Jin (DYJ) programme, he / she can only receive tuition fee reimbursement for a maximum of 8 courses under the DAE/DYJ programme in total. If a student has been reimbursed the tuition fee of a DYJ course, he/she cannot apply for tuition fee reimbursement for the same course under the DAE programme. For example, if a student has been reimbursed the tuition fee of the Chinese subject of the DYJ programme, he/she cannot apply for tuition fee reimbursement for the Chinese subject under the DAE programme. | ||
DAE students who have the right of abode in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong); or alternatively, the students or their families who have resided in Hong Kong continuously for three complete years prior to the commencement of the course may apply for a loan under ENLS to pay their tuition fees. Applicants are required to pay an administrative fee for each application and each loan account on an annual basis. Interest is accrued at the prevailing ENLS interest rate upon drawdown of the loan and throughout the study period until the loan is fully repaid (please visit Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency (WFSFAA)’s website at www.wfsfaa.gov.hk/sfo/pdf/common/Form/nls/NLS_interest_and_Admin_fee_chi.pdf
for the current ENLS interest rate.) The ENLS loans borrowed by loan borrowers and the interest accrued upon thereon are repayable in 15 years by 180 equal monthly instalments, or in a shorter repayment period by equal monthly instalments as agreed by the Student Finance Office upon (i) graduation; or (ii) loan borrowers’ cessation of being a student or withdrawal from / suspension / deferment of their studies / their failure to complete the course for whatever reason(s); or (iii) lapse of six years from the first disbursement of loan, whichever is the earliest. For application details, please refer to the ENLS Guidance Notes [ENLS 140] which can be downloaded from the WFSFAA’s website at www.wfsfaa.gov.hk/tc/sfo/postsecondary/enls/forms.php
