want to know any above 260 students without DSA got EESIS or not.

below or above? If above, it is national 3% as someone has mentioned.

I mean above 260 without DSA...because they mentioned that one criteria is must with DSA and IS students who can get EESIS, thus I'm wondering whether those 3% without DSA students can get scholarship ot not....

Doesn't matter whether they have DSA or not.

And, securing a DSA doesn't mean you'll be offered EESIS. If you're not in top 3%, no EESIS.

Therefore keen to know anyone from mainstream with DSA but below 260 got EESIS.

If DSA and eligible but school not IS, then I think there's another scholarship IIRC.

For thos eligible but without any DSA, think they shd also receive computer printout on whethe they r eligible or not.

Someone asked in another thread whether anyone knows (feels) the number of students score above 250 has increased/ decreased.


To answer this question, we need to know what is the COP for 3rd Lang (top 10%). This COP is usually around 250. Last year was 248. With this info, we can estimate whether there is an increase/ decrease of the numbers of student scored between 250 and 259.

We already knew 260 is the top 3% (EESIS awards). Therefore the ppl scored 260 and above is 45000 x 3% = 1350

With these info, we can then estimate whether the COPs for IP and top tier O levels schools will drop/ increase by how many points.

FYI, the total vacancies of the IP schools can cater up to top 5% ~ 7% of the cohort.

if 250 remains as the magic number for the top 10% of each cohort, then those 250 and above is roughly 4500 - and take away 1350 being top 3% with EESIS, that means 250-259.9999 = 4500-1350 = 3150

‘The new, standard EESIS quantum of $2400 will continue to be awarded

to up to the top one-third of students posted to Secondary One in all Independent Schools, regardless of their family income.’

This was mentioned in the press release of MOE in 2007. Top 33% or 3%?
