The Tertiary Education Loan and Scholarship Scheme Board is currently facing some difficulties in sorting out the National Toppers Scheme scholarships as some forms are incomplete.
Board Chairman Dixon Seeto said they have been working overtime in trying to identify which field the applicants are looking at.
Seeto said this is also the reason for the delay of the announcement of the top 600 applicants.
Meanwhile the Tertiary Education Loan Scheme and National Toppers Scheme is only available for students who sat for Form 7 or did foundation study last year.
This is the clarification from Dixon Seeto after numerous enquiries from people who have completed school before 2013.
Seeto reiterated that the National Toppers Scheme full scholarships are for the top 600 applicants from Form 7 and foundation students in 2013 who scored over 300 marks in priority areas established by the Government.
He said for the Tertiary Education Loans Scheme, Form 7 and foundation students in 2013 who scored over 250 marks can take interest-free loans under this scheme to cover their University Tuition fees if they study on a full-time basis.
