All subsidised Singapore Citizen
(SC) and Permanent Resident (SPR) students studying the MOE-subsidised full-time diploma and degree programmes at NAFA will enjoy GST subsidy provisions on tuition fees and tuition grant. NAFA will make the necessary adjustment to ensure that the
student bills for the subsidised SC and SPR students are revised accordingly to reflect that GST subsidy is provided on both their fees payable and tuition grant.
Diploma programmes offered by NAFA are funded by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) and exempted from the Fee Protection Scheme under the Edutrust requirements of the Committee for Private Education (CPE).
Fees for AY
2024 are approved by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE).
Fees for Diploma programmes under Fashion Studies Programme include the final-year graduation show fee.
Tuition Grants
The Tuition Grant Scheme (TGS) was introduced by the Government to help students with the cost of tertiary education in Singapore.
Eligible Singapore Citizens are automatically awarded a Tier A Tuition Grant, which is the highest level of tuition fee subsidy, Singapore Citizens thus pay the lowest tuition fees. There is no bond obligation.
Eligible Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs) may choose to apply for a Tier B Tuition Grant only. Successful applicants are required to work for a Singapore entity for three years upon graduation.
Eligible international students may choose to apply for a Tier C Tuition Grant only. There is a limited number of Tuition Grants available for international students, and selection is competitive and based on merit. Successful applicants
are required to work for a Singapore entity for three years upon graduation.
However, students who have exceeded the maximum TGS cap of ten semesters, or who have graduated from local polytechnics (SP, NP, NYP, TP or RP), universities (NUS, NTU, SMU, SIT, SUSS and SUTD) or LASALLE College of the Arts, are no longer eligible
for the Tuition Grant and will have to pay the full programme fees for their study at the academy.
SPRs and international students who applied for the grant successfully are required to execute a Tuition Grant Agreement with the Government of Singapore, represented by the Ministry of Education (MOE). NAFA will guide matriculated students with their
application for the Tuition Grant. It is, however, the student’s responsibility to complete the process of the Tuition Grant Agreement within the deadline set by the MOE. SPRs and international students who do not fulfil the obligations,
or do not complete serving their Tuition Grant bonds will be required to pay liquidated damages. Liquidated damages will be computed based on the prevailing Tuition Grant (as advised by MOE) received during the programme of study, plus 10% compounded
interest per annum.

Fee Protection Scheme
NAFA adopts a mandatory Fee Protection Scheme(FPS) to protect the paid fees of both local and international students for RCM conferred Master Degree programmes. The Undergraduate programmes, Diploma programmes and NAFA Foundation Programme offered
by NAFA are funded by Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) and exempted from the Fee Protection Scheme under the Edutrust requirements of the Committee for Private Education (CPE).
NAFA has appointed Etiqa Insurance Pte Ltd
