MOE Tuition Grant (Subsidy scheme)
- The MOE Tuition Grant is a grant provided by the Government of Singapore to help students manage the costs of full-time tertiary education in Singapore.
- Eligible Singapore citizens, permanent residents and international students enrolled in full-time undergraduate programmes at the autonomous universities may receive it.
