# When must I start serving my Tuition Grant bond after graduation, and what happens if I choose not to take the Tuition Grant?

If you accept the Tuition Grant, your 3-year bond obligation begins immediately after you graduate and you must report your employment status within three months of starting this bond period; reporting and updates are done through the MOE TG&S portal.
If you choose not to take the Tuition Grant (i.e., pay full non-subsidised tuition fees), you are not bound by this 3-year work obligation.
