The Mainland University Study Subsidy Scheme opened for applications today and will run until September 21.

The Education Bureau said the scheme will benefit Hong Kong students with different financial needs pursuing undergraduate studies at 176 designated Mainland institutions.

Students who pass a means test will receive either a full-rate subsidy of $16,800, or a half-rate subsidy of $8,400 a year.

Under the non-means-tested programme, introduced in the 2017-18 academic year, eligible students will receive an annual subsidy of $5,600.
