Edusave Scholarship Award

[mummy so kiasu]

Top 25% is actually Merit Bursary (P1 - P6) for low household income only. The kid will only receive a cheque on the presentation ceremony. Whereas, the top 10% is Edusave Scholarship Award (P5 & P6 only). The kid will receive a cheque & a certificate.

[quote=\"nani\"]Hi,


Anyone can update for the certificate of academic achievement awarded by the constituency, what are the criteria to be awarded the above cert? I only know is base on top 25% of individual school,

. do they base on type of housing?
. what is the income ceiling to be eligible?
. are independent school entitle as well?

Thanks

My last year P5 dd was awarded the top 25% in terms of academic performance and EAGLES award.

Not sure about independent school but I believe they don't look at type of housing or income ceiling. Key determinant is top 25% performance in school.

For the top 25%, there is no financial award for the child. There is some bursary but the household income cap is low (eg. $4000). So it's as good as nothing. Actually I rather they give some direct award to the child (just like good progress $100?). The child can choose to save it. Or maybe popular voucher, etc... where they can buy book/ stationery?

For EAGLES, my dd will be attending the ceremony at the community club and I heard she will get $250?

To a certain extent, I wonder why the recognition for EAGLES is higher than the academic excellence???? As she was invited to CC for EAGLES but not academic excellence.

Is it true that only those awards that come with financial award (eg. Scholarship, good progress award) will be presented at a ceremony? Those who receive the certification for academic achievement award (top 25%) just simply receive the cert. through the mail? Quite a non-event for this group of kids. Whether it comes with a financial award or not, a certificate n a letter that arrives through the mail is quite meaningless [/quote]You will not receive any certificate for being top 25%. Only the top 10% of P5 & P6 will receive a certificate & a cheque on presentation ceremony. They do recognise academic excellence, but is for top 10% & not 25%. However, your child might qualified for Good Progress if he/she improves greatly comparing to last year performance.

Just a certificate, without financial award (which is not the point here). The certificate, signed by the Grassroots Organisation, is mailed to the recipient. My friend who showed me his kid's certificate, was quite pleased. But his kid (the receipent) was not impressed la Hence my comment of it being a \"non-event\".

Hi


Just wondering, is P5/6 Scholarship reduced to only $350 this year regardless of whether you're in top 5% or not?

Thanks

Yes. If I din remember wrongly, top 5% was $400. Now it's standard $350 for top 10%. But the EAGLES has been increased from $150 to $250.
