This Calculator provides a rough estimate of the amount of financial assistance you might obtain from FASP based on the information inputted. The applicants would be informed of the financial assistance entitled under 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 rough estimate of the NLSPS loan offer for you.
The amount of grant and / or loan derived by this Calculator is for your reference only. It is calculated based on the amount of family income and assets and number of family members you inputted into the Calculator. After your submission of application, the Student Finance Office (SFO) will assess the information reported in your application form and your sibling(s)’ FASP and / or Tertiary Student Finance Scheme – Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS) application form, if any, before determining your eligibility for and entitled level of financial assistance. In addition, if proper documentary proof(s) cannot be provided or the documents provided cannot substantiate the reported income / asset information (e.g. claim for prolonged unemployment or only self-prepared income proof is provided), SFO may need to make adjustments and apply benchmark figures based on the 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 and / or net value of the assets held by the family member(s) concerned. SFO 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 FASP.
Please refer to the FASP Guidance Notes for detailed explanation of the factors affecting the assessment of the entitled financial assistance.
