Dear Student,
Starting from 2019/20 Academic Year (AY), the Education Bureau (EDB) will enhance the existing SSE and SSEBR (to be renamed asMeans-tested SSEBR). In parallel, two new Schemes will be introduced from July 2019 onwards, namely the Non-means-tested Mainland Experience Scheme for Post-secondary Students (Non-means-tested MES) and the Scheme for Non-means-tested Subsidy on Exchange to “Belt and Road” Regions for Post-secondary Students (Non-means-tested SSEBR) to encourage more post-secondary students in Hong Kong to pursue exchange activities in the Mainland and B&R regions.
The following four subsidy schemes are available for application from 2019/20:
- Scheme for Subsidy on Exchange for Post-secondary Students (SSE)
- Scheme for Means-tested Subsidy on Exchange to “Belt and Road” Regions for Post-secondary Students (Means-tested SSEBR)
- Non-means-tested Mainland Experience Scheme for Post-secondary Students (Non-means-tested MES)
- Scheme for Non-means-tested Subsidy on Exchange to “Belt and Road” Regions for Post-secondary Students (Non-means-tested SSEBR)
