OVERSEAS PROGRAMME TRAVEL SUBSIDY
The Overseas Programme Travel Subsidy scheme is meant for full-time students in the Diploma, Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree levels who are participating in approved overseas programmes or study trips organised by NAFA.
Financially needy students, with household Per-Capita Income (PCI) not exceeding S$1,875 per month or Gross Household Income (GHI) not exceeding S$7,500 per month may apply for the travel subsidy.
The application link will be disseminated through the Lecturer-in-charge once the trip is confirmed. Subsidy applications must be submitted at least 6 weeks before the departure date.
The subsidy for all approved overseas programmes (except overseas competitions) will be offered on a 3-tier system based on the household incomes as follows:
