Application Deadline

  • For New Students: Details of submission arrangement will be announced in August 2026.
  • If you study an accredited programme that commences between April 2026 and March 2027, except for those students who study distance-learning programmes, you should apply for financial assistance under the 2026/27 academic year.  Applications should reach the Student Finance Office (SFO) no later than 15 January 2027.
  • Late applications beyond 15 January 2027 would only be processed for circumstances that are beyond the control of individual applicants, for instance, commencement dates of their study programmes fall after 15 January 2027 or individual applicants experienced serious financial hardship as a result of drastic change in their family’s financial situation in recent months.  Applicants submitting a late FASP application due to such circumstances have to provide documentary proofs to substantiate their claims.
