Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the KiFAS scheme helps families reduce monthly kindergarten costs through income-based subsidies.
The Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS) provides monthly subsidies to help families manage the costs of early childhood education.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to families whose total monthly household income is $12,000 or less.
What you get
You can receive a monthly subsidy to lower your kindergarten fees. The amount you receive depends on your specific income tier, with monthly support ranging from $150 to $540.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you will need to provide official documentation to prove your household income. You must also ensure your child is enrolled in a qualifying kindergarten.
The catch to know
This assistance is not available at every preschool. It only applies if your child is enrolled in an anchor operator or a partner operator appointed by the government.
How to apply
- Confirm your child is enrolled in an anchor or partner operator kindergarten.
- Gather your necessary household income documents.
- Submit your application through the official portal.
