The Board has since 2011/2012 academic year reviewed the means test system to make it Simple, Transparent and Fair.
The Means Test System considers School Fees paid in O – level and A – Level Secondary Schools or Ordinary Diploma as an indication of the applicants’ ability to contribute to the costs of higher education.
Thus, the Applicant’s neediness shall be measured as a difference between the higher education costs (Meals and Accommodation charges, Books and Stationery expenses, Special Faculty Requirement expenses, Field Practical expenses, Research expenses and Tuition Fees) of a particular institution of study and the applicant’s ability to pay forhis/her own education; multiplied by a factor to acknowledge the high return of Higher Education to the applicant. The factor ranges from 1.1 to 1.5 depending on the magnitude of the Tuition Fees paid at O-Level or ALevel Secondary/Ordinary diploma Education. The higher the magnitude, the higher the factor.
In addition, the system shall make adjustments to cover for Loan applicants with special socio-economic disadvantages such as Orphanage, Disability (of Parents/applicants) and those with Single parents.
Under the Means Test System, the whole loan shall be aggregated to one lump sum amount. Out of that, the Tuition Fee and Special Faculty Requirement components shall be paid directly to the institution of study, whereas the remaining amount shall be paid to the student quarterly.
