Government-funded bursaries for Full-Time Diploma & PFP Students (Singapore Citizens)

• The type of government bursary that you will be awarded will depend on whether you have met the corresponding income eligibility of the bursary award. You therefore need only to make one application for the different government bursaries – HECB, HEB or DFP Bursary.
• As the majority of full-time subsidised students are eligible for government bursaries, you are highly encouraged to apply for government bursaries early in March/April so that your application can be approved in time for settlement of fees as well as be considered for additional selected private funded bursaries, awards and grants that are given out early in Semester 1. There is no need for separate and additional applications for these privately funded bursaries, awards and grants.
• Student must not be a recipient of full scholarship (cover tuition fees and allowance)/sponsorship in the same academic year.
• Full-time Diploma students on the Mendaki Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy scheme are eligible to apply for bursary.

 

 

 

^{*Student whose family income meets either PCI or GHI will be eligible for the bursary tier indicated in the same row. Gross Household Income (GHI) is the total combined income of all family members staying in the same residential address as the student.For students who are staying with one or more legal guardians, the income of the legal guardians and their spouse who are staying in the same household will be taken into account when calculating the GHI for the student’s family. Per Capita Income (PCI) is computed by dividing the monthly GHI by the number of family members in the same residential address as the student.}

Private funded bursaries, awards and grants (Singaporean Citizen & Singapore PR)

• With generous donations from industry partners, charitable organisations and philanthropic individuals, NYP can provide financial assistance to needy students in the form of bursaries, awards & grants. View our donors' list here.
• Students must not receive full scholarships/sponsorship in the same academic year.

 

For Singaporean full-time diploma students:

• If you have already been awarded a government bursary in an earlier exercise in this academic year, you do not need to apply for private-funded bursary. You would automatically be considered as part of the applicant pool of the private-funded bursary, subject to meeting the donor’s requirements, including income eligibility and donor’s fund availability.

For Singapore Permanent Residents full-time diploma students:

• You are encouraged to apply for private donor bursaries, awards and grants during the stipulated application period as shown in the table below.
