“The IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment” (The Scheme) (3rd round) and “Central Fund for Personal Computers” (The Fund) (45th round) now accept applications. The deadline for both the Scheme and Fund is 28 February 2022. The Jockey Club IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment ended after the 30th batch of application in mid-2020. To continue our support for the PVI, the SWD now launches the IT Scheme for the People with Visual Impairment. The relevant eligibility, scope of subsidisation, level of subsidy, etc. remain unchanged.
Eligible organisations, educational institutes and individual persons with visual impairment may apply for “The IT Scheme for People with Visual Impairment” whereas “Central Fund for Personal Computers” is for eligible persons with disabilities engaging in self-employment at home or supported employment service at home.
