LOAN SCHEMES
In addition to the Tuition Grant, the CPF Education Scheme is open to citizens, PRs and
international students. A combination of loan schemes can cover almost 100% of payable
subsidised tuition fees. A CPF member can use up to 40% of accumulated savings in the Ordinary
account, excluding housing loan funds withdrawn. International students need to furnish details
of a guarantor upon application.

OVERSEAS STUDENT PROGRAMME LOAN
Citizens and PRs going for an overseas immersion programme or exposure programme can apply
for this loan. Each student is entitled to receive the student loan only once during their course
of study and they may not hold other loans or aids concurrently that covers the full cost of the
overseas programme.

are many options out there bonded or bond-free for you. Researching the various options from
your respective universities, community, banks and courses can help you solve a seemingly
insurmountable problem of fi nancial woes.
