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

• 100% of MOE subsidized tuition fee payable by Singaporean student if PCI is S$1,000 and below.
• 75% of MOE subsidized tuition fee payable by Singaporean student if PCI is between S$1,001 to S$1,200.
• 50% of MOE subsidized tuition fee payable by Singaporean student if PCI is between S$1,201 to S$1,500.
