Education Fee Assistance
The Fee Assistance for Student
Care is given to eligible parents who place their children
in non-profit Student Care Centres (SCCs). This is to ensure
that SCCs are within the reach of parents who need to provide
their children with an alternative form of day-care arrangement
before and after school hours but are unable to afford the
fees. Application is to be made through the respective SCCs.
Eligibility Criteria
- At least one parent must be a Singapore
Citizen or Permanent Resident;
- The mother/single father is working
full-time or part-time regularly;
- The combined gross monthly income of
both parents does not exceed $2,500;
- The child attending the centre
must be:
- A Singapore Citizen or Permanent
Resident, between 7 to 14 years of age
- Schooling
Kindergarten Financial Assistance
Scheme (KiFAS)
Kindergarten education helps your child
prepare for primary school. If you want to place your child
in a kindergarten, but cannot afford the fees, you may apply
for help under KiFAS. KiFAS is available at eligible non-profit
kindergartens. Parents who qualify for the scheme will receive
a fee subsidy every month.
What KiFAS Provides
KiFAS subsidises 75% of the monthly fees,
up to $65 per month (or a maximum of $780 yearly), whichever
is lower. For example,
- If the child's fee is $40 per month,
the KiFAS subsidy is $30 (equal to 75% of $40) and parents
pay the remaining $10.
- If the child's fee is $100 per month,
the maximum subsidy is $65 every month. Parents need to
pay the remaining $35.
Who Can Apply
- The child is a Singapore citizen or
permanent resident of Singapore (PR). If the child is
a PR, then at least one immediate family member of the
child must be a Singapore citizen;
- The child attends a K1 or K2 programme
(at least 3 hours long) in an eligible non-profit kindergarten;
and
- The family’s monthly
household income is $1,500 or below.
Where to Apply
Check if KiFAS is available at your child's kindergarten. If it is, apply for KiFAS at the kindergarten.
