MOE Financial Assistance Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how low-income families in Singapore can receive school fee waivers and subsidies for uniforms and textbooks through this scheme.
This scheme provides financial support to students from low-income families to help cover the essential costs associated with schooling.
Who it's for
This assistance is designed specifically for students who come from low-income families. The goal is to ensure that a family's financial situation does not prevent a student from accessing the education they need.
What you get
If you qualify, the scheme provides a full waiver of school fees, meaning you will not have to pay the standard tuition costs for the student's enrollment. Additionally, the scheme provides subsidies to help cover the costs of textbooks and school uniforms, reducing the overall financial burden on the household.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee required to apply for this assistance. However, it does require time and effort to manage the paperwork. You will need to obtain and complete an application form through your child's school office and provide the necessary details required by the school to verify your eligibility.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this support is not a permanent, one-time approval. You must re-apply every single year to ensure the assistance continues for the upcoming school year.
How to apply
- Contact your child's school office to request the necessary application form.
- Complete the application form thoroughly, ensuring all required details are included.
- Submit the completed form back to the school office for processing and review.
