Financial Assistance Scheme
Find out about financial aid available to needy Singaporean students, including fee subsidies, textbooks, and uniforms. Apply online anytime throughout the year.
Financial Assistance Scheme
Singapore Citizens in financial need can get assistance from MOE on school fees and other expenses.
1 . Financial Assistance by Ministry of Education (MOE FAS)
2 . Financial Assistance by the School (School-based FAS)
If you are not eligible for MOE FAS, your children's schools will automatically consider supporting your children through their school-based financial assistance scheme.
This is evaluated by the respective schools on a case-by-case basis.
There is no need to make a separate application for school-based financial assistance, and the schools will inform you of the outcome via SFS.
How to Apply
You can apply online via Student Finance System (SFS) using your SingPass. If you have children in different general education schools, you only need to submit one application. You will be informed of the application outcome via SFS.

There is no cut-off date for application to the MOE FAS. You can apply for MOE FAS for your child at any time.
To renew the financial assistance for the next calendar year, a fresh application is required.
To avoid delay, students and parents are encouraged to submit the FAS Applications for the next calendar year by the end of October in the current year.
The school will not reimburse the parents or the successful applicants if they had made purchases for the school attire or textbooks prior to the application outcome.
