Review Mechanism

  • If applicants would like to apply for re-assessment due to substantial changes in the applicant’s family particulars after the assessment period or other reasons, they may apply in writing to the Student Finance Office, specifying in the written request the application number or the HKID card number of the applicants, and providing detailed justifications and any documentary evidence in support of their application. The application for re-assessment must be duly signed by the applicants.

  • Re-assessment of eligibility normally takes three months to process. Since longer processing time will be needed for re-assessment, applicants should apply as promptly as possible for re-assessment within one month from the issue date of the notification of result or before the school year ends, whichever is the earlier.
