Financial Aid
Part time work for Students
Full-time undergraduates of Polytechnics and Universities are allowed to work part-time of up to 16 hours per week during school term. However, they need to obtain permission from the Student's Liaison/Affairs Office of their respective Polytechnics and Universities. During their vacations, they are allowed to work full-time as the Ministry of Manpower has exempted them from applying for work permits.

Please note that other international students are generally not allowed to engage in any form of employment, whether paid or unpaid, or in any business, profession or occupation in Singapore during the validity of their Student's Pass, unless they have the consent in writing from the Controller of Immigration. Violators will be prosecuted by law.

Scholarships
Fees for higher education is low as the government heavily subsidies a substantial portion of the full tuition fees, in the form of tuition grants. Foreign students who wish to receive the tuition grant are required to sign a Tuition Grant Agreement with the government. For these students, the subsidized fees are 10 per cent more than what a Singaporean student would pay. In return for the subsidized education, tuition grant recipients will be bonded to work in Singapore-registered companies for three years upon graduation. Singapore's employment pass and visa schemes facilitate the entry of foreign talent to Singapore.
