♦ The Means Test and Levels of Assistance
-Our school will use the “Adjusted Family Income” (AFI) mechanism as the means test to assess the eligibility of a family for fee remission scheme and its assistance level.
-The AFI mechanism is based on the following formula:
| AFI = | Gross annual income of the family |
| Number of family members + (1) |
**Only Number of family, System will automatically increase one.
♦ Gross annual income of the family includes the annual income of applicant and his/her spouse; 30% of the annual income of unmarried child/ children residing with the family if applicable; and the contribution from relatives/ friends if applicable.
♦ The members of a family normally refer to the applicant, his/her spouse, unmarried child/ children residing with the family and the dependent parent(s) of the family.
♦ For single-parent families of 2 to 3 members, the ‘plus 1 factor’ in the divisor of the AFI formula will be increased to 2.
♦ Students from families on Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme will be given full school fee remission.
The AFI eligibility benchmarks for various levels of Fee Remission 24/25 are listed in the table below. (Full or Half Fee Remission).
