Mainland University Study Subsidy Scheme for Hong Kong Students

The Education Bureau⁢ reminds eligible Hong‍ Kong ‍students who intend to apply​ for the‍ Mainland University Study Subsidy Scheme for the 2024/25 academic year to submit their​ applications through the Mainland University ​Study Subsidy Scheme online ⁤application platform (musss.edb.gov.hk) on ‌or before the​ 13th of this‍ month, or submit ‍the completed application form to ​the ‍Education Bureau by mail.

A spokesman for the Education‌ Bureau said that the subsidy scheme is expected to​ benefit the vast majority of Hong‌ Kong students who come to the mainland to study bachelor’s degree programs ⁣and have different financial needs.

Eligible‌ students can apply ​for the “means-tested subsidy” or “non-means-tested subsidy” of the financial aid scheme. The former is​ only available to students who pass⁢ the means ‍test. Subsidy ⁣funds under the subsidy scheme ⁤will be disbursed on an annual basis, and the ⁤subsidy period is the normal study period ​of ‍the⁤ bachelor’s ​degree program studied by the relevant students at designated mainland institutions. Eligible applicants can only receive either “means-tested subsidy” or “non-means-tested subsidy” within the same school year.
