Tertiary Student Finance Scheme ¡X Publicly-funded Programmes (TSFS)
Calculator for Estimating the Amount of Assistance for
Academic Year
This programme enables you to obtain a
rough estimate
of the amount of financial assistance you might obtain from the TSFS. Starting 2006/07, the applicants would also be informed of the financial assistance entitled under the TSFS and the Non-means Tested Loan Scheme (NLS), if any, simultaneously in the TSFS notification of result. Therefore, this calculator also includes a part which could provide a
rough estimate
of the NLS offer for TSFS applicants.
The amount of grant/loan produced by this programme is
for your reference only
. It is calculated from the income figures, asset values and number of family members you enter below.
In your formal application, the information provided by you will be vetted and is subject to amendment if the information is found to be incorrect. In addition, if documentary proofs provided are not substantiated (e.g. self-written statement of income or unexplained prolonged unemployment), the Agency may need to make adjustments and apply benchmark figures on the basis of statistical information provided by the relevant government departments, such as the Census and Statistics Department, the Rating and Valuation Department, and the Transport Department etc. to assess the income of and/or net value of the assets held by the family member concerned. The Agency may apply projected figures of family income in the assessment if necessary. Your actual entitlement may therefore vary from the figures produced by this programme.
We accept no liability for any loss or misrepresentation incurred by its use.
Please refer to the
for detailed explanation of the factors affecting the assessment of your financial assistance.
