Mainland University Study Subsidy Scheme open for applications
A spokesman for the EDB said that MUSSS would benefit Hong Kong students pursuing undergraduate studies in 217 designated Chinese Mainland institutions, including 165 institutions participating in the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions for the 2026/27 academic year.
Eligible students may apply for a means-tested subsidy (only for those students who have passed the means test) or a non-means-tested subsidy under MUSSS. The subsidy under MUSSS is granted on a yearly basis, and the subsidised period covers the normal duration of the undergraduate programme pursued by the student concerned in the designated Chinese Mainland institution. Eligible applicants may only receive either a means-tested subsidy or a non-means-tested subsidy in the same academic year. MUSSS is not subject to any quota. It is envisaged that MUSSS will benefit most Hong Kong students who are pursuing undergraduate studies on the Chinese Mainland and have different financial needs.
The subsidy under MUSSS will be disbursed based on the distance between the locations of the institutions and Hong Kong, which will be grouped into three categories. Details of the subsidy rates under the different categories are set out in the Annex.
Details of MUSSS are available on the EDB website (www.edb.gov.hk/musssIssued at HKT 11:00
