2) What is the value of each grant?
On average, the MOE tuition grant for foreign students, which is equivalent to the subsidies enjoyed by Singaporeans, is worth about $18K per annum for university courses and $9K per annum for polytechnic courses. Thus, every foreign student who has a place in our local tertiary institute receives a large chunk of subsidies even if he or she is not on a scholarship. In return, they are obliged to work three years in Singapore after graduation.
5) Does this kind of grant apply to students of other nations?
Yes.
