Note
1 You are eligible for Tuition Grant (TG) for your new course at the Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) as long as you have not already attained a diploma or degree or higher qualifications through MOE subsidies or sponsorship by the Singapore Government. If you have received TG or sponsorship by the Singapore Government at the IHLs for the previous course(s) which you did not complete, the TG or MOE subsidy received in your previous course will be taken into account when determining your eligibility for TG for the new course.
Students who have officially informed NP of their Singapore citizenship or Permanent Resident status before the commencement of each semester will have their fees adjusted and refunded for that semester. However, for those who inform NP officially their Singapore citizenship or Permanent Resident status after the commencement of the semester, the fees will be adjusted to the rate of Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident with effect from the next semester. No refund will be made for the difference in fees already paid in the current semester.

With the tuition grant subsidy from the Singapore Government, the subsidised tuition fee is as shown above . Permanent residents and foreigners who accept the tuition grant subsidy must sign a bond to work in Singapore for 3 years upon graduation.
