This calculator enables you to obtain a rough estimate of the amount of financial assistance you might obtain from the FASP. The applicants would be informed of the financial assistance entitled under the FASP and the Non-means Tested Loan Scheme for Post-secondary Students (NLSPS), if any, simultaneously in the FASP notification of result. Therefore, this calculator also includes a part which could provide a rough estimate of the NLSPS loan offer for FASP applicants.
The amount of grant/loan derived by this calculator is for your reference only. It is calculated from the income figures, asset values and number of family members you enter below. In your formal application, the information provided by you will be vetted and is subject to amendment if the information is found to be incorrect. In addition, if documentary proofs provided are not substantiated (e.g. self-written statement of income or unexplained prolonged unemployment), the Office may need to make adjustments and apply benchmark figures on the basis of statistical information provided by the relevant government departments, such as the Census and Statistics Department, the Rating and Valuation Department, the Transport Department etc. to assess the income of and/or net value of the assets held by the family member concerned. The Office may apply projected figures of family income in the assessment if necessary. Your actual entitlement may therefore vary from the figures derived by this calculator. We accept no liability for any loss or misrepresentation incurred by its use.
The estimates derived by this calculator do not include the hostel subsidy for eligible undergraduate students and additional academic expenses grant for students with special educational needs. For details of the hostel subsidy and additional academic expenses grant, please refer to Level of Financial Assistance for the FASP.
Please refer to the Guidance Notes on Application for FASP for detailed explanation of the factors affecting the assessment of your financial assistance.
