Yan Oi Tong Rehabilitation Scholarship Charity 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 ‘Yan Oi Tong Rehabilitation Scholarship Charity Fund’ (YOTRSCF) starting from 2024 with a total of donation of HK$500,000 from Yan Oi Tong (YOT). In view of the success of the fund in encouraging the continuing education of persons in custody, the YOT agreed to continue funding the YOTRSCF with a total donation of HK$400,000 for another two years in 2026 to provide 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.
