Yes, it really was an early Christmas present :celebrate: . Am keeping the letter though cant apply.
Congrats Jen. Looks like both your ds are doing well under your guidance. If next time my ds is able to get bursary of any kind of any amt, I'll be so jumping for joy that I will be able to perform cartwheel somersaults the whole day, haha :lol: .Jennifer:
We recd the letter for applying the MOE Edusave Merit Bursary Award. I checked the MOE website on this Edusave http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/edusave/funds-grants-awards/#bursary
It is meant for pupils who are \"within the top 25% of each level and stream in his school\".
So can I think my P3 boy can get into the 2nd top class??? The P3 cohort size is around 360 pupils. -

Thank you for the update.Hi Mummies,
I just went to PH to collect books for my son...for parents who have ordered and paid online, pls look out for the inner queue (near the school bookstore). The queue in front of the Science lab is for parents who didn't pre-order...but be prepared to queue.
Stock just arrived for P4 Chinese story books (Xi You Ji) and P5 Chinese story book (shui hu zhuan). Heard there is no stock for P5 Chinese textbook 5B and the workbook as well.
Anyone who bou the XiYouJi can take a pic n show it here? I too lazy to go down again. Next time we r going Sydney :celebrate: -

Based on our sampling here, seems that very, very few households will be able to claim this bursary award despite qualifying for it academically. I wonder whether anyone in MOE HQ is compiling the statistics which says something like only x% (x must be a single digit number) of households can claim the award due to the ultra low $4000 income cap per household.
dd received too...but same, can't claim....php:

Yes, totally agree with you
To personify MOE, he will look like an eccentric, grounchy old man whose loaded but refuses to part willingly with his dough :laugh:[/quote]There 2 other types of Edusave award - Scholarship award (meant for top 5% and next 10%) and Good Progress Award. These no need to apply or income cap. -

Not sure whether anyone of you read the letters one of Today's readers wrote on this bursary. According to him, the income cap only came into effect this year. He urged MOE to do away with the income cap as the bursary was the reason why his child strived to perform well.
To me, it's plain :shock: . It's bursary, not scholarship.

If I remembered correctly, these two types are only meant for P5 and P6. Never mind, continue to work hard, everyone! :celebrate:

He is very happy to get a trophy displayed in his room. Hope this acts as a motivating force for him to keep improving on his own without me nagging at him. -
