FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR ESF PARENTS ESF has launched a new ‘triple assistance’ financial package to help families who are having financial difficulties during the global pandemic crisis. Three schemes are as follows: all ESF fee-paying families can receive a 45 percent discount per student on their fees in June; the current ESF Financial Assistance Scheme will be extended to include the families of Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 7 students; and the launch of a new ‘Covid-19 Emergency Assistance Scheme’ allowing families to defer up to 50 percent of their
April, May and June fees with the option to pay back over 24 months starting in January 2021. “The impact of the global pandemic has left many of our families facing economic difficulties – and we want to do everything that we can to support them,” says ESF Chief Executive Officer Belinda Greer. “The triple assistance package that we are announcing today is designed to give immediate assistance to those who need it most.” Full details of the ‘triple assistance package’ can be found at esf.edu.hk/tripleassistance
