In a bid to support inmates to pursue education and vocational training through community involvement and in consideration of the donors' preference to grant financial assistance directly by the money donated, the Department established a fund namely the ‘Prisoners' Education Subsidy Fund’ in March 2009. The Fund provides financial assistance to needy persons in custody to pay for education / vocational training courses, public examination fees, and the like.
The Department invites applications for financial assistance three times a year.
The Trust welcomes donations from members of the public. For enquiry, please contact the Secretary of the Fund, whose telephone number and address are as follows:
