Application Outcome & Disbursement of Funds

The Admissions Division will inform you of the application outcome via email within 3 months from the application closing date.
For CDC/CCC Bursary disbursement, your respective Community Centres will send you a notification letter on the disbursement details.
For MOE Bursary disbursement, excess funds will be disbursed directly to student from the university, after any offsetting of unpaid outstanding Tuition Fees by Student Finance.

Important Notes:

Monthly Gross Household Income (GHI) refers to the amount before deduction of CPF, and includes allowances, overtime, commissions etc.
Public Bursaries are tenable on a yearly basis.
An eligible student may receive a maximum of 1 public bursary within an Academic Year (AY) of study.
Students must be in receipt of either full/partial MOE Tuition Grant for their original candidature of study in order to receive the public bursary.
Recipients of a Public Bursary with a lower quantum may submit a fresh application for a public bursary with a higher quantum if there have been changes to the household income/number of dependents since the previous application within the same Academic Year. If the subsequently assessed PCI should render the student eligible for a larger public bursary award, we will revise the award designated for the same Academic Year and a top-up of the monies (where applicable) will be made.
Students receiving a Public bursary must not concurrently hold other scholarships, or bursaries except for bursaries administered by SIT.
