Prisoners’ Education Subsidy Fund

In a bid to support inmates to pursue education and vocational training through community involvement and in consideration of the donors’ preference to grant financial assistance directly by the money donated rather than placing the principal in the Prisoners’ Education Trust Fund for investment and generation of income for the same purpose, the Department has established a fund namely “Prisoners’ Education Subsidy Fund” since March 2009 with a donation of HK$100,000 as the start-up funding from Mr. WONG Siu-sang, a member of the Executive Committee of the Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon. The Fund focuses on providing financial assistance to needy inmates and prisoners:

i.	to sit for public examinations;
ii.	to cover their course enrolment fees; and
iii.	to procure textbooks, reference books and learning aids.

The Department invites applications for financial assistance three times a year.
