Special Relief Fund

With a concern that many of our students and their families are facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn this year, The Open University of Hong Kong has set up a one-off special relief fund to provide financial relief to students in need of help.

Application Process

The University will make the application procedure simple and friendly. Eligible students who are in financial hardship are invited to submit their application via MyOUHK. We will announce the details of application and start to accept application in mid September 2020. Successful applicants will receive an email notification and the subsidy will be transferred directly to applicant's registered bank account.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for the Special Relief Fund, students must:

• be registered in LiPACE’s full-time Yi Jin Diploma, Diploma, Sub-degree or part-time Higher Diploma in Early Childhood Education programme in 2020/2021 academic year; and

• undertake the normal study load of the programme concerned in Semester A
2020-21 (i.e., September 2020 Semester).

Amount of Subsidy

The financial relief for each eligible full-time student is HK$1,300 and each part-time student is HK$650.
