Note :
Since the Textbook Assistance (TA) grant rates for the 2026/27 school year are being formulated, the Student Finance Office (SFO) has preliminarily disbursed the provisional TA to eligible applicants with reference to the respective TA grant rates for the 2025/26 school year. As and when the TA grant rates for 2026/27 are available, the SFO would make corresponding adjustment based on the latest rates.
