What is E-APP?

Electronic Advance Application System for Post-secondary Programmes (E-APP) is a one-stop online application system for post-secondary programmes developed by the Education Bureau. Candidates sitting for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) in the current academic year may lodge advance applications for full-time locally-accredited sub-degree and undergraduate programmes that are not covered by the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) via the E-APP before the release of HKDSE results.

What’s New

06.05.2025

Eligible students engaged in a full-time locally-accredited self-financing post-secondary education programme at sub-degree (i.e. associate degree or higher diploma) or bachelor’s degree level may apply for financial assistance under the Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students (FASP) and / or the Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Post-secondary Students (NLSPS) through “eWFSFAA” of the Student Finance Office (SFO) under the Working Family and Student Financial Assistance Agency (WFSFAA). For details of the two schemes, please refer to FASP and NLSPS.

 

Applicants should be registered as full-time students of programmes covered by FASP and NLSPS in the 2025/26 academic year before submitting their applications. Students pursuing newly-accredited programmes are required to submit the application within one calendar month from the date of programme accreditation. The recommended application submission schedule of respective institutions for new students will be promulgated on the WFSFAA’s website.
