Students aged 18 or above shall be deemed as “the applicant”. For students aged under 18, their parent/guardian shall act as “the applicant”.
If the family of the student applying for the “means-tested subsidy” has submitted the Household Application for Student Financial Assistance Schemes for the 2024/25 academic year to the SFO, the EDB will consider the eligibility of the applicant and the amount of subsidy to be granted under the MUSSS 2024/25 based on the assessment result of his/her family’s eligibility in the Household Application. The applicant only has to submit the completed and signed application form (M1) together with copies of the required supporting documents specified in the application form to the EDB. Completion and submission of the Means Test Assessment Form (M2) are not required.
If the family of the student applying for the “means-tested subsidy” has not submitted the Household Application for Student Financial Assistance Schemes for the 2024/25 academic year to the SFO, the applicant should submit the completed application form (M1) and Means Test Assessment Form (M2) together with copies of the required supporting documents to the EDB by post for the SFO to conduct the means test.
Before submitting the application, please check carefully that relevant application form(s) has/have been duly completed and signed. The form(s) together with copies of the required supporting documents (if applicable) should be sent to the EDB by post with sufficient postage. Insufficient postage will lead to non-delivery of the application forms, in which case the EDB will not be able to process the application. Applicants should write their correspondence address at the back of the addressed envelope to avoid wrong / unsuccessful delivery.
During the vetting process, the family of the student applying for the “means-tested subsidy” may be notified by the SFO that they have to provide supplementary documents. If an applicant needs to submit a statement of sworn declaration, the SFO could provide declaration service to the applicant concerned. The applicant has to make an appointment first to confirm the date, time and location. The locations of SFO’s offices for the applicants to receive declaration service are as follows:
• 5/F, Trade and Industry Tower, 3 Concorde Road, Kai Tak, Kowloon; or
• 12/F, One Mong Kok Road Commercial Centre, 1 Mong Kok Road, Kowloon
Applicants who have any enquiries concerning the declaration service may call the enquiry hotline (Tel: 2802 2345), or write to the SFO at Tsimshatsui Post Office Box No. 96824.
