still believe what? its true? the malays get full subsidy!!! the
only things they have to pay is the miscellaneous fees, which could
be around $8 for secondary students...
so in all, Malays pay $8.
The rest of singaporean citizens, around $13.
im not being petty here. cause when their education get higher,
cost goes up to.
plus theres this thing i know, its called the TTFS.
What is the Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy For Malays?
The Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy For Malays (TTFS) used to be known
as `Free Tuition For Malay Students' prior to 1991.This scheme,
administered by the Public Service Commission (PSC) was given
automatically to all Malay students studying in the Polytechnics,
National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological
Institute upon their application to the PSC.
Where does the fund come from?
The Fund is from the Singapore Government.To start
of, the government gave MENDAKI an initial sum of S$10 million. A
further S$7 million was given in December 1991 due to the increased
number of Malay students eligible for tertiary education. This fund
is not taken from the Mosque Building and MENDAKI Fund contributed
by Muslim employees. The surplus from the administration of the
TTFS is then used for other education-related activities conducted
by MENDAKI.
How much subsidy will an eligible student get?
There are two categories of subsidy:
- 100% subsidy for those whose monthly family income is $2,000 and
below
- 70% subsidy for those whose monthly family income is between
$2,000 and $3,000.
Example 1:
A polytechnic student's tuition fee for each academic year is
$2,100 (based on 2006/07 tuition fee). If the student's monthly
family income is $2,850, he/she will be eligible for the 70%
subsidy. MENDAKI will therefore pay $1,470 and the student will pay
$630 a year.
Example 2:
A Science undergraduate's tuition fee is $6,110 per year (2006/07
tuition fee). If the student's monthly family income is $1,500,
he/she will be eligible for the 100% subsidy. MENDAKI will pay the
full $6,110 for the student each year.
