Points to Note for Diploma of Applied Education ("DAE") / Diploma Yi Jin ("DYJ") Students

  • During the peak season of the ENLS from July to September, in order to avoid applicants' prolonged waiting at the Student Finance Office ("SFO"), students may settle the tuition fees on own accord to confirm the enrolment with the institutions first. Please keep the payment receipt of the tuition fees and apply for ENLS at a later time and before the end of the programme if there are financial needs to do so.  During the period from July to September, DAE/DYJ students who need to apply for loans should, according to the instructions as stipulated on the admission letters, fill in the "Indication of Intention for Application" at the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency webpage (https://ocas.wfsfaa.gov.hk/ocasprd/dae/), and bring along the "Indication of Intention for Application" to register with the respective institution and confirm your enrolment in advance.  Afterwards, students may fill in and submit the online applications for financial assistance by logging in "SFO E-link - My Applications" through the "eWFSFAA" online platform (https://eWFSFAA.gov.hk) for completion and submission of applications starting from 1 August 2026.
