Hmm. The thing is that I have heard people say that we can only get the allowance for five years. Does anyone knows if this is the truth?作者: 小社大神 时间: 2010-6-11 17:49:36

只要你满18岁就可以拿啦作者: GRiella 时间: 2010-6-11 18:06:22
Because I rented a room, and was 18/19 when I was in Year 13.
Slightly later than the others when I entered school because of my birthday being in December==lll作者: GRiella 时间: 2010-6-11 18:07:21
Of coz you still need to meet the income requiremant..作者: pirate0118 时间: 2010-6-11 18:10:03
Usually you can get the Student Allowance for a maximum of 200 weeks in total. But you may be able to get an extension in certain circumstances if you need extra time to finish your studies.作者: GRiella 时间: 2010-6-11 18:16:31
Allowance a maybe. No for the Accommodation Benefit.
If you mean living at home.
But since the house is family trust, I am not sure.作者: GRiella 时间: 2010-6-11 20:20:49
So if i am studying i can still get it?
Im just afraid that they wont me to get an extension....
I also wanna study postgrad la><作者: sunnycoast 时间: 2010-6-11 23:33:24
I am just thinking ahead--just in case I fail any papers this year.
And I do intend to finish a postgrad diploma, to the very least.
I may not stay here, and it is pretty useless in HK unless you get a honor qualification.
And I have mentioned that this is already my third year of getting allowance.
Please, not saying that I want to work straight after university doesnt mean that I do not think of it. I am little offended when you said that.作者: GRiella 时间: 2010-6-15 09:55:30
I have posted the question to studylink. Here is the response:
"....Thank you for your email regarding Student Allowance.
A student usually has a lifetime maximum of 200 weeks entitlement to a Student Allowance. Once a student has used up their 200 weeks, they will cease to receive or be eligible for a Student Allowance.
Courses that do not count towards the 200 week limit include:
study at a secondary school
transition courses
...................................."
