MOE Tuition Grant

The Tuition Grant is a financial grant provided by the Government of Singapore to help you manage the cost of full-time tertiary education.

Last updated 27 February 2026

You can receive this support for up to 10 semesters of study in Singapore. If you’re a Singapore Permanent Resident or an International Student and choose to take up the Tuition Grant, you’ll need to sign a Tuition Grant Agreement. This means you’ll be contractually required to work for a Singapore-based company for a minimum of three years after you graduate.

Important notes:

  • You’ll still be responsible for paying the remaining tuition fees after the grant is applied, along with your annual supplementary fees.

  • If you’ve received a Tuition Grant previously for a course you didn’t complete at another local Institute of Higher Learning (IHL), this will affect how many semesters of Tuition Grant you can receive in your new course.

  • Once you’ve used up your Tuition Grant for the maximum 10 semesters, you’ll no longer be eligible and will need to pay full fees for the rest of your studies.
