The Mendaki Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy (TTFS) scheme, introduced in 1991, is an education subsidy for Malay students to cover their tuition fees at tertiary institutions. The Government, together with Yayasan Mendaki, has revised the income eligibility criteria for the scheme to benefit more Malay students in tertiary institutions to ensure that students in financially challenged families are not denied access to higher education, while cultivating the spirit of self-reliance in more well-to-do families. The new criteria will take effect from the academic year (AY2012).
Who is eligible?
-
Singapore Citizen/Singapore Permanent Resident Malay students.
-
Monthly household Per Capita Income (PCI) does not exceed S$1,500.
-
Students receiving MOE Tuition Grant and pursing their first full time degree.
Quantum

-
50% of subsidized tuition fee payable by Singaporean student if PCI is between S$1,201 to S$1,500.
For existing students who would like Mendaki to review their subsidy amount, you will need to reapply again. Existing students who are receiving 100% subsidy need not reapply for the subsidy.
