If the number of eligible applicants for a particular level of remission exceeds the number of awards available, the applicants will be ranked according to the points scored under the Reckoner in Annex A, and the less competitive ones will be granted the immediate lower level of remission. Applicants with equal scores will be ranked on the basis of the quotients of the average monthly adjusted family income divided by the number of family members, with the lowest figure being given the highest advantage.

For those eligible families having more than one child attending DSS classes of St. Paul's College / Primary Section, the percentage of fee remission for the additional child (or children) set out above would be increased by 25% (limiting to a maximum of 100%).

If the value of the family’s net assets (exclusive of the asset value of self-owned or co-owned property for dwelling) exceeds $400,000, 2% of the excess amount will be added to the applicant’s total average monthly adjusted family income.

Parents/guardians who wish to benefit from the Fee Remission Scheme must submit the completed application form together with copies of the required documents, not later than a date to be notified. All information provided in the application form and the supporting documents submitted are subject to strict verification.
