- The effective month of fee remission will be the month in which the application forms are submitted by the applicants, or the month in which the student-applicants are admitted to the kindergarten/child care centres, whichever is the later.
- The approved amount of fee remission will be paid to the kindergartens / child care centres concerned directly by the Treasury in about 10 working days after the issue of notification of result. Payment to applicants will then be arranged by the kindergartens / child care centres.
Payment arrangement of Grant-KG
- The SFO will release the grant for the 2025/26 school year by autopay to eligible applicants starting from end September 2025 at the earliest.
