Dear Students
Hope all of you are doing fine in ITE!
I would like to guide you on Opportunity Fund for PC Subsidy (OF-PC). If you are keen to own a PC/Laptop/Tablet and you are eligible for the PC Subsidy, this is definitely a great opportunity for you to do so while you can own a laptop and have subsidy from school.
Please refer to the information below on how to apply, criteria, check your eligibility, options available and claim procedures.
If you have any other enquiries, you may drop a WhatsApp message to Ms Pang Siew Luan at http://wa.me/6564329924.
Wish you all the best in ITE!

Option (2) Buying a Desktop/Laptop/Tablet under IHL Tender
Pros: Student does not need to pay full amount of cost price but to pay the balance after deducting the OF-PC subsidy.
Cons: Student can only choose available model of Laptop/Tablet from the selected vendors
How To Buy
Student may wish to buy the available model of Desktop/Laptop/Tablet from selected vendors under the IHL tender listed below.
Keppel Technology Solutions Pte. Ltd.
https://e-shop-hp.asiapac.com.sg/
NUS Multi-purpose Co-op
https://e-shop-lenovo.asiapac.com.sg/
Acer Computer (Singapore) Pte Ltd
https://store.acer.com/en-sg/ite
Student should visit the website of respective vendors to select a Desktop/Laptop/Tablet of choice and make order directly at the website. Student should inform vendor that you are under the OF-PC subsidy at ITE College East.
>> It is recommended that you check with vendor on the availability of the device before making the order.
Amount That You Can Claim
The claim amount is 80% of cost price, capped at $1100. Student is expected to pay the balance of the cost price less subsidy upon delivery of Desktop/Laptop/Tablet. Student need not submit invoice/receipt to ITE.
Example A:
If the listed price of your PC/Laptop/Tablet is $1,300
Listed price = $1,300
80% x $1,300 = $1,040
You pay 20% ($1,300 - $1,040) = $260
As 80% of the purchase price did not exceed the subsidy cap of S$1,100, you are only required to pay the remaining 20%. In this case, you will need to pay the vendor $260. ITE will pay the subsidy of $1,040 directly to the vendor.
Example B:
If the listed price of your PC/Laptop/Tablet is $1,400
Listed price = $1,400
80% x $1,400 = $1,120 (Exceeded subsidy of $1,100)
You pay ($1,400 - $1,100) = $300
Although 80% of the purchase price is $1,120, it has exceeded the subsidy cap of $1,100.
Hence you will need to pay the vendor $300. ITE will pay the subsidy of $1,100 directly to the vendor.
Please select Payment Method as "FAS" or "PC SUBSIDY" when you order online.
Important: You need to liaise directly with the vendor for any enquires on and not limited to ordering, delivering, warranty, specs, payment or cancellation.
ITE will not be responsible for any disputes between student and vendor.
