The WFSFAA uses the "Adjusted Family Income" (AFI) mechanism as the means test to assess the eligibility of a family for student financial assistance and the level of assistance. The AFI mechanism is based on the following formula:

AFI =

Gross annual income of the family


Number of family members + (1)


-

Gross annual income of the family includes the annual income of the applicant and his/her spouse; 30% of the annual income of unmarried children / child residing with the family if applicable; and the contribution from relatives / friends if applicable.

-

The members of a family normally refer to the applicant, his/her spouse, unmarried children / child residing with the family and the dependent parent(s) who are supported by the applicant and/or his/her spouse (Please refer to the Guidance Notes on Application for Assessment of Eligibility for definition of “Dependent Parent”).

-

For single-parent families of 2 to 3 members, the ‘plus 1 factor’ in the divisor of the AFI formula will be increased to 2.

-

AFI thresholds for full level of assistance for 3-member and 4-member families are $53,868 and $49,559 respectively in the 2024/25 school year. For 2-member single-parent families and 3-member single-parent families, they are regarded as 3-member families and 4-member families respectively for determining the AFI thresholds for full level of assistance and calculation of AFI.
