Tung Sin Education Fund

In a bid to support persons in custody to pursue education and vocational training through community involvement, the Department has set up a two-year subsidy scheme, viz. the ‘Tung Sin Education Fund’ (TSEF) starting from 2016 with a total donation of HK$500,000 from Tung Sin Tan (TST). In view of the success of the fund in encouraging the continuing education of persons in custody, the TST agreed to continue funding the TSEF. Since 2018, TST further donated a total of HK$1,800,000 to the TSEF 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.
