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.

That only apply to P5 and P6.

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.

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:

That's not true. My dd received it last year too with the same income cap.

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.

:congrats: Jennifer!

So, now you can't complain about YX anymore, right? :evil:

:oops: still can complain one if I really want to pick on him. U know me

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.
