Financial Assistance
Eligible local students (please see here) may apply for the HKSAR Government's Extended Non-means-tested Loan Scheme (ENLS). The scheme offers interest-bearing loans to eligible students for covering tuition fees. An administrative fee and a relatively higher interest rate are charged once the loan is drawn down until it is fully repaid. Applications are non-means tested, which means that there is no assessment of family's income and assets. For details of the scheme, please refer to the Government's website at https://www.wfsfaa.gov.hk/sfo/en/postsecondary/enls/overview.htm.
Also, there are some PolyU subjects/courses that have been approved for the Continuing Education Fund (CEF). Eligible students (please see here) enrolled in courses included on the Government's list of reimbursable courses may apply for subsidies. Please refer to the Continuing Education Fund website at https://www.wfsfaa.gov.hk/cef/en/index.htm for information.
Please note that non-local students are not eligible to apply for financial assistance from either the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or PolyU. Applicants are therefore advised to secure sufficient funding prior to commencing their studies at PolyU.
Scholarships
Entry scholarships may be provided by individual programme offering departments.
