...From https://tgonline.moe.gov.sg/docs/A-Eligibility-AUs.pdf
You are eligible to take up a Tuition Grant if you have not previously taken a Tuition Grant or received sponsorship/scholarship from the Government of Singapore to attain another qualification at an equal or higher level.

Hello slmkhoo! Thanks much, as always.

Yes, I've pored over it (& related documentations on the Moe tg website, university+ polytechnic websites). The impression I got is that, polytechnics & universities are categorised similarly under tertiary education / Institutes of Higher Learning, as such, if I were to graduate from polytechnic (diploma, with a tuition grant), & continued to further my (degree) studies in the university, I would be denied further tuition grant. 😬

Would you happen to have the same interpretation? Thank you.

No. The way I read it, as poly diplomas are considered lower than university degrees, a student with a diploma would still be eligible for TG when studying for a degree. They have not already received an equal or higher qualification.[/quote]Agree. That’s the way I read it. Poly dilpomas are not a degree & it’s not an equal qualification in Spore context.

Some negative evidence is that I'm sure we would have heard complaints if poly grads were denied the tuition grant if they went to a local university. There are so many now. I personally know a few, though I have not asked them this question specifically, and if they had to pay full university fees, I'm sure I would have heard!

@janet88. Hi Janet, may I seek your expertise... would you know whether your child will be eligible for the government's MOE Tuition Grant in the university, After he already enjoyed 3 years of this grant in polytechnic? Thank you in advance.[/quote]

I have no idea...but i think it should not be an issue. hubby enjoyed the grant in poly and in NTU.

was at Sentosa last Saturday.

took a short ride on the cable car for just $3 per person while there, otherwise it would cost $25 from mount faber.

still going out, but with masks on, it's hard to shop as it can be uncomfortable and all the extra walking can be tiring since only certain entrances/exits are opened.
