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.
