course fees at tertiary institutions.

and are eligible for MOE Tuition Grant can apply for this scheme.

The per capita monthly household income will determine the amount of the subsidy that the student is eligible for.
The income criteria is based on a three-tier system where students who come from households with per capita
monthly household income of below S$1,500 will be eligible for the following TTFS subsidies:

S$1,000 and below 100%

S$1,201 - S$1,500 50%

Note:
Computation of per-capita income = Total monthly gross income of family / Total number of family members
