Shaw Education Fund for Rehabilitation

In a bid to support persons in custody to pursue education and vocational training through community involvement, the Department has set up a three-year subsidy scheme, viz. the ‘Shaw Education Fund for Rehabilitation’ (SEFR) with a total donation of HK$1,500,000 with HK$500,000 in 2024 and HK$500,000 each in the next two years from The Shaw Foundation for providing financial assistance directly by the money donated to needy persons in custody to pay for education / vocational training course fees, public examination fees and the like.

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