Edusave Scholarship Award

My dd also p3 and got it so cannot be, I think.

MMM:
So not conclusive whether it is improvement from previous year's result and current year's result or SA results of the same year. For me, got this award this year =
Actually... I am wondering if it is not a SA1 and SA2 comparison??? Do they give out during SA1? My dd results was fairly consistent between the 2 exams (except for science which her grades jump by 10+ marks) but her level ranking improved significantly from P2.
. Will keep encouraging dd to do her best and see what other unknown awards land at my doorstep next year!! :lol:

Someone told me the list of top 5% and 10% is submitted by the school based on school top 5% and top 10%. Even though the foreigners are removed, it does not mean the locals will move up the ladder to become top 5%. Don't know for sure, but nevermind, an award is already a good motivation!Hi
ycpang - Tks for the update... Phew!! No worries then...
Pen88n - Congrats too!!! :celebrate: Understand that besides being selected by his/her school for this scholarship based on year-end examination results and good conduct, the child also has to be a Singaporean. So like what DS was saying, after removing some of those top scorers in his class (foreigners) and those with conduct issues, he may stands a chance in the Top 5% category... :lol: Anyway, told him it's an honour to be selected for the award, regardless of Top 5% or 10%, so should be grateful lah... -
Hi Pen88n
Yup, you're right. Being awarded is a good enough recognition and encouragement to the kids for their effort and hopefully with this award it will boost them further. But on the other hand, if the fact which you've mentioned about after removing foreign classmates don't automatically place them at a higher rank is true, guess we should be more proud of our kids' achievement then.
Really hope my DS is able to sustain his motivated attitude till he completes his PSLE next yr... Sigh...

the edusave letter was dated before PSLE result, and is the same date as that of other levels (P4, P5, Sec 1,2,3 etc) ...hence for the P6, it must have been based on school results.
the EAGLES award letter is dated December -
Has anybody received the letter for EAGLES award yet?

My DS's teacher told me that the Good Progress Award is for pupils who showed significant improvement in results as compared to the previous results. The computer system would calculate the improvement made for each child and rank the pupils according to the improvement in the marks.
Went to do an Internet search and got the following information from MOE's website:
(a) Edusave Scholarships
For Primary 5 or 6 pupils
If your child is studying in primary 5 or 6 in a government or a government-aided school, he is eligible for the Edusave Scholarship for Primary Schools if he is amongst the top 10% of pupils of his level and stream. Your child will be selected by his school for this scholarship based on his year-end school examination results. The award is $400 for pupils in the top 5 per cent and $350 for the next 5 per cent.
For Sec 1 and other levels:
Refer to the following weblink
http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/edusave/funds-grants-awards/#good-progress
(b)Edusave Merit Bursary (EMB)
The Edusave Merit Bursary is meant for pupils whose household income is less than $4,000 a month.
If your child is studying in either a primary or secondary school, or in a JC/CI or ITE, and is not a recipient of any Edusave Scholarship stated above, he can apply for the Edusave Merit Bursary if he is within the top 25% of each level and stream in his school, and if your gross monthly household income is below $4,000.
The value of this award for each level is as follows:
$200 for Primary 1 to 3
$250 for Primary 4 to 6
$350 for Secondary 1 to 5
$400 for Junior Colleges/Centralised Institute (JCs/CI)
$500 for Institute of Technical Education (ITE)
MOE will send an application form for your child to apply for the Edusave Merit Bursary in November/December each year if he qualifies. The completed application form is to be submitted to the community centre in your constituency.
(c) Good Progress Award (GPA)
If your child does not qualify for the Edusave scholarship or merit bursary, but has made significant improvement in his academic performance, he is eligible for the Good Progress Award. The award is given based on the extent of his improvement in his school’s year-end examinations over the previous year.
The awards are given to a maximum of 10% of pupils in each level and stream in every school. Pupils in Primary 1 are excluded from the scheme as there is no basis for comparison. Your child will be selected by his school for this award at the end of the year if he meets the criteria.
The value of the awards are as follows:
$100 for Primary 2 to 3
$150 for Primary 4 to 6
$200 for Secondary
$250 for Junior Colleges/Centralised Institute (JCs/CI)
$400 for Institute of Technical Education (ITE)
(c) Edusave Awards for Achievement, Good Leadership and Service (EAGLES)
If your child shows leadership and excels in non-academic areas, he is eligible for the Edusave Award for Achievement, Good Leadership and Service. The award is given based on his achievement in co-curricular activities and contribution to community services over a one-year period.
The awards are given to a maximum of 5% of pupils in each level and stream in every school, from primary 4 upwards. Your child will be selected by his school for this award at the end of the year if he meets the criteria. Pupils in primary schools, secondary schools, JCs/CI and ITE who are recipients of Edusave scholarships or bursaries or good progress awards will still be eligible for this award.
The value of the awards is as follows:
$150 for Primary 4 to 6
$200 for Secondary, JJC/CI and ITE
Hope this info helps everyone
