Tuition Grant

The substantial tuition subsidy from the Government of Singapore comes in the form of a Tuition Grant (TG) which is administered by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and offered to students who are Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents only. Students who apply for and are approved for the tuition grants need only pay subsidised fees (also referred to as the "Subsidised Tuition Fee" portion of fees). While the tuition grant is not repayable, and Singapore Citizens in receipt of it will not be required to take a service bond, the following accountability measures will apply:

  • Singapore Citizens on Public Service Commission (PSC) scholarships or bursaries will be required to undertake a service bond under the terms of such scholarships or bursaries.
  • All Singapore Permanent Residents (except those already in receipt of a service bond from the PSC or the Ministry of Health) will be required to undertake a service bond under the terms of the tuition grant to work with a Singapore-registered company for three years upon completion of their degrees so as to discharge some of their obligations to the Singapore public for the high subsidy of their education.

 

Students who do not sign the tuition grant agreement or who are not eligible for the tuition grant will have to pay non-subsidised tuition fees.

The MOE Tuition Grant stated on the Ministry of Education (MOE) website is applicable for AY2011/12 for all subsidised undergraduates.
