Hello Everyone!
I'm a girl recently graduated from polytechnic armed with a
diploma in biotechnology.
I would like to enquire on the pros and cons of signing a SAF
bond.
My main aim is I want to pursue a degree at a private university
into science-related, and will SAF sponsor/ subsidise/ finance my
varsity tuition fees if I sign on with them?
Do I need to work for SAF for a minimum of years before then I
can apply for sponsorship?
Will the bond be extended/ "add-on" due to the sponsorship of the
degree course?
Since if I am to sign bond, I am expected to work for them with a
diploma and to work for a salary, then I will be "suspending work"
to study for a degree, come back after completion.
Are there relevant vocations to sign on for?
For example, @ www.mindef.gov.sg/chembiodefence
Can I pick and choose vocations to work with my relevant
certificates?
I heard that SAF can only let you choose up to 3 choices, but the
final decision is for the SAF HR system post you where to work,
just like the PSLE choose secondary school, "O" levels choose
polytechnic in JAE.
Thank you.
