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....

EESIS is offered to ALL students who scored in the Top 3% of PSLE. 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.[/quote]Understand that was what have been true, but this year I saw it with my naked eyes, the printed statement ,\" Your child/ward has been offered this scholarship as he has been offered DSA to IS\" Plus in the past there has been a lot of complaint that EESIS has been unfairly given to GEPers without having meet the COP ... so just wondering if there is a change in criteria now. 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%?

Okay so that means EESIS will be awarded to top 3% of the PSLE cohort. Thereafter, must be within top 33% of the secondary (independent) school to ensure he/she continues to get EESIS throughout the years.

So if candidate A is amongst the top 3% , went into Independent school, took up the EESIS...to ensure A gets this scholarship throughout the years, candidate A must study hard & be amongst the top 33% of his/her secondary school.

Total vacancies of IS schools x 1/3 = top 3% of whole PSLE cohort. Got it?

[quote=\"ycpang\"]Hi all,


Please share you DS/DD's T-score and whether he/she has the EESIS and 3rd Lang (French/ Jap/ German) options?

EESIS determines the top 3% of the cohort while 3rd Lang option is for top 10%. The COP T-scores for both can be used to \"calculate\" the COPs of schools especially top schools like RI/RGS/HCI/NYGH/DH etc.

Me- 259+2

Offered 3rd Lang option (jap/french/german)

Did yours get EESIS scholarship?[/quote]Hi , my DS scored 255+2 being offered category 1 to 3 .
Btw, can enlighten me the about EESIS if is for the 1st year fees only? Is it that to get another chance only thru ESIP from 3rd year in IP school?
Last question scoring A* for English and maths and 2 As ...difficult to cope IP or should just stayput 4 years school like Cath High etc

Very much appreciate experience parents/ IP students views ...
:?: :?: thank you so much in advance!
