Financial Assistance

The Ministry of Education, Singapore (MOE) provides tuition grant which covers a substantial portion of the full tuition fees to eligible students.

Students who receive the tuition grant are required to pay only the subsidized tuition fee.

Please refer to the Tuition Fee table to view the fee and grant amounts.

Who is eligible? 

Full time undergraduate students who gain admission to the university on a subsidised fee basis for AY2008-09 are eligible for Tuition Grant (TG) up to the normal programme duration.

With effect from Semester 2 AY2008-09 for students who have already received TG in their previous programmes at any local university, they will be eligible for TG up to the normal programme duration less the number of semesters of TG they have already received. (i.e. Number of semesters of TG eligible for the new programme = Number of semesters required to complete the normal programme – Number of semesters TG has been received for the previous programmes).
