HKMU Bursaries

1. Applicants must be the HKMU continuing students who have passed a course in part-time (distance learning)  programmes, and the course may lead to the award of Bachelor's Degrees, Bachelor's Degrees with Honours and/ or Postgraduate Degrees.

Note(1) The 'year' depends on the starting point of the first assistance awarded to individual students.

Note (2) The total bursary amount granted to a student throughout his / her study with the HKMU should not exceed HK$50,000 (in term of the full tuition fees of the courses being assisted, not the actual amount).

Note (3) Any unsuccessful bursary applications will be automatically considered for loan.

Note (4) Applicants do not need to pay the tuition fees to reserve the course places (but not the specific class section). Recipients of Half Bursary will be offered bursaries to cover 50% of the tuition fees, and they have to pay the remaining amount by their own means.

Assessment Criteria

1. The financial situation of the applicants and the family members living together with the applicant will be assessed. In general, the bursaries are offered for applicants with lower "Adjusted Family Income" (AFI), which is calculated by taking the total family income less medical expenses, dividing it by the number of family members "plus 1". Only 30% of the annual incomes of other family members are counted towards the annual family income. For single-parent families of 2 to 3 members, the "plus-1 factor" in the divisor of the AFI formula will be increased to 2. For the 2023/24 academic year, the AFI threshold for bursary assistance is $84,105, and the ceiling of deductible medical expenses for each family member is $22,790.
2. Eligible applicants are not guaranteed to be offered bursaries.
3. Assessment will be made and considered by the HKMU Student Financial Awards Committee. The type of assistance offered to individual successful applicants and the number of successful applicants is determined by the applicants' financial circumstances, the funds available in the term concerned, the requirements specified by donors and others factors that the Committee considers necessary.
4. The assessment of AFI will be conducted in a yearly basis, i.e. applicants are only required to provide the financial information and proof once in a year.
