With the hit of COVID-19 and the rapid economic downturn, many students and their families may face financial difficulties. The HKBU SEED Fund（學生種子基金）was set up in April 2020, under Project SEED (Student Engagement, Enrichment and Development), to provide emergency financial relief to students with urgent needs and to support worthy projects which enhance the employability of our students.
The emergency situations should occur recently. Examples include but not limited to:
- job lost/salary cut of a breadwinner or household member in the family
- illness/medical expenses of applicant or family members from surgical procedures or mental health treatments
UGC-funded full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students with proven financial hardship caused by emergency situations may apply for financial assistance from the SEED Fund at any time in the academic year. Applicants can first contact the SFA Unit by email, phone or in person for a brief consultation. Submission of application form with supporting documents is required. The documents required and the approved grant amount are subject to the applicant's situation and financial need. Successful applicants may receive the grant shortly.
If you have emergency financial needs and would like to know more, please contact us:

To sustain the HKBU SEED Fund and benefit more students, we appreciate and need the generous support of alumni and friends of HKBU, as well as the general public of Hong Kong Society.
Your donation, regardless of amount, will help alleviate the financial burden of our students and enable them to achieve their full intellectual and whole-person development, and eventually, motivate them to give back to those with fewer advantages in the future!
If you are interested in supporting the HKBU SEED Fund, please contact the University Advancement Office at uao@hkbu.edu.hk or by completing the donation form at https://foundation.hkbu.edu.hk/sites/default/files/HKBU%20SEED%20Fund%20Donation%20Form.pdf.
