3. TUITION GRANT
The substantial tuition subsidy from the Government of Singapore comes in the form of a tuition grant which is
administered by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and offered to all admitted students. Students who apply for and are approved for the tuition grants need only pay subsidised fees (also referred to as the “Direct Payment” portion of fees). While the tuition grant is not repayable, and Singapore citizens in receipt of it will not be required to undertake a service bond, the following accountability measures will apply:
• All Singapore Permanent Residents and International Students will be required to undertake a service bond under the terms of the tuition grant to work for a Singapore-registered
company for three years upon completion of their degree so as to discharge some of their obligations to the Singapore public for the high subsidy to their university education.
