Edusave Scholarship Award

[Just relax]

jowee:

Till today, yet to rec the second letter for both scholarship and Eagles awards. Any one still waiting?

My son received his EAGLES award letter beginning of this week. I think the timing for the letter may depend on when the awards ceremony is scheduled.

We received both letters. The ceremony is today at 2.30pm.

But both scholarship n Eagles award will be at same timing. Don’t know why.

I am in a secondary school and I had received the Edusave award for being the top 25%. However, I am not eligible but I received the Good Progress Award and am I eligible for GPA if I am not ELIGIBLE or RECEIVED the Edusave award (25%)? MOE information is making me confused and can parents help me on this, thanks.

Edusave Scholarship is for top 10%. Whereas, Edusave Bursary is for top 25%. However, only the low income families could qualified for it. You can still qualified for good progress award as long as you have make great improvement compare to last year performance. You don't have to be top 25%. You could go to MOE website to get more information.

Yes, GPA is not subject to income ceiling. You are eligible. Congrats!

Okay, thanks mummy so kiasu and ruohoo97. If that is the case, then I should receive the invitation award for the GPA before 31 January as stated on the letter.
