Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Full-time Tertiary Students (NLSFT)

Overview

The Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Full-time Tertiary Students (NLSFT) is to complement the Tertiary Student Finance Scheme – Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS) to provide loans to eligible students to settle tuition fees of recognised full-time study courses.

Application for Accepting Remaining Loan Amount

  • Remaining loan amount = the maximum amount of the NLSFT loan offered - the NLSFT loan that they have already accepted in respect of their NLSFT loan application in the same academic year

  • Applications should submit the duly completed "Application Form for Accepting the Remaining Loan Amount" (NLSFT 113) (Paper-base Application/ Electronic Application) to the Student Finance Office (SFO) at least ten weeks before the payment due date of the tuition fee instalment in question. An administrative fee must be paid again when applying for accepting the remaining NLSFT loan amount, but no payment of the handling charge levied by institutions is required.

  • Late applications for accepting the remaining NLSFT loan amount may not be accepted.
