NUS is good bcos..........
THE National University of Singapore (NUS) on Friday announced
that the increase of tuition fees for undergraduate and graduate
courses for the Academic Year (AY) 2011 are - apart from an
increase - to reflect a greater differentiation in fees paid by
Singapore Citizens (SC), Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR) and
International Students (IS).
TUITION FEES FOR S'PORE CITIZENS
Annual tuition fees for most undergraduate courses for SC will
increase by 4%; this represents an annualised increase of 1.6% over
four years. Fees for Architecture, Business, Law, Music, Nursing
and Pharmacy will increase by 6%; or an annualised increase of 2.3%
over four years.
Fees for the incoming AY2011 intake of SC for graduate courses
(coursework and research) will be adjusted upwards by 6%, with the
exception of Nursing. In subsequent years, the fees for the AY2011
intake will be increased by 3% annually for the remaining course
duration. Existing graduate students from the AY2010 and earlier
intakes will also be subject to an annual 3% increase for the
remaining course duration.
FOR PERMANENT RESIDENTS & INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS
Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR) and International Students
(IS) admitted to NUS in AY2011 will pay between $480 and $2,180
more than the existing fee rates for SPR, and between $970 and
$3,720 more than existing annual rates for IS.
NUS remains committed that no deserving student is denied the
opportunity of an NUS education because of financial difficulties.
So it provides a comprehensive range of financial assistance
schemes - such as Tuition Fee Loan, NUS Study Loan, NUS/MOE
Bursary, Work-Study Assistance, as well as NUS Student Assistance
Loan.
The University will continue in its efforts to raise funds for
financial aid to help needy students. The various financial aid
packages are briefly summarised (see side report).
