Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS)

For Singapore Citizen Students only.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) has revised the income eligibility criteria and raise the quanta of several of its Financial Assistance Schemes for Singaporean students. Beyond the enhanced financial assistance schemes, there are school-based assistance of other assistance provided by social service agencis for Singaporean students who do not qualify for MOE's financial assitance schemes. No Singaporean student will be denied access to school due to their financial situation.

 In line with other government financial assistance such as MediShield Life and ComCare, MOE and PSEIs will onboard the HOusehold Means Eligibility System (HOMES) to streamline application and means-testing processes from AY2026. With HOMES, most applicants no longer need to submit supporting documents, such as income documents, thus making the application process more convenient for them.

Means-testing for MOE financial assistance will automatically take into account the household income of all family members living in the same household as the student and the household's average income over the past 12 months. This approach provides a fair and representative indication of the family's household income. All employment and trade income, including bonuses and allowances, as well as other administrative income as reflected in the Notice of Assessment by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), such as rental income, will be included in the income assessment.
