How do successful applicants of the Kindergarten and Child Care Centre Fee Remission Scheme (KCFRS) and Grant for School-related Expenses for Kindergarten Students (Grant-KG) receive tuition fee remission／grant?

Payment Arrangements of the Assistance

KCFRS

• The SFO will compute the fee remission for the applicants in accordance with the level of assistance assessed (50%, 75% and 100%) using the AFI formula.  The amount of fee remission will be calculated according to annual school fee after deducting the government subsidies under the KG education scheme.
• The effective month of fee remission will be the month in which the application forms are submitted by the applicants, or the month in which the student-applicants are admitted to the kindergarten/child care centres, whichever is the later.
• The approved amount of fee remission will be paid to the kindergartens / child care centres concerned directly by the Treasury in about 10 working days after the issue of notification of result with the fee remission amount. Payment to applicants will then be arranged by the kindergartens / child care centres.

Grant-KG

• The SFO will release the grant for the 2024/25 school year by autopay to those students who are confirmed to be eligible for the Scheme applied starting from end September 2024 at the earliest.
