Signing bonds with the govt
-
a jc grad here..but im not sure of wad to do next..
gg into uni would require a great amt of money..
im thinking of signing bonds with the police or airforce..but wad's the procedure like?do i first attend my uni course with the govt supporting full-amt for my course fees and 'pay back' to the govt later by working for them,be it in the airforce or army?
also,regarding the signing of bonds, does the govt take a small percentage of my mthly salary when i begin working for them after my studies?or do i juz work for the required time period wif no amt being taken out from my pocket?

Forumites!u can choose to answer any qns stated..no need to answer all three..
however..ur help is much appreciated if u choose to answer all three. -
You take the bond only if you are sure you will be able to fulfill the requirements of that bond.
You don't want to have that 15 minutes of fame when you see your name splashed across the ST should you decide to break it.

U have to qualify for scholarships offered by govt. Normally they want straight As + S papers.
If u get in, they will pay for uni. fees. Some of these scholarships comes with 4- 6 yrs. bond. That means when u finish Uni, u are to work for them.
Please refer to the brochures given out at yr. jc.
There is a list of all the scholarships avail. from all the co. like SPH, Esson/Mobil + govt. bodies. Some of them don't have bond. -

bond just means that you work for them no money deducted. look at it as the bond requires you to work for them in exchange for the uni fees and allowanaces.

but since you cannot get the thign then no issue lor. the way i see it. it seems you are ok with a loan also. so why not go check out the study loans but then those got interest once you start workign which can be quite high -

basically you take a loan with some bank for the skool fees. the loan is interest free up to the point where you graduate then they start to count interest.Originally posted by yuko-ogura:loans?wad are they?

you can go see the various busaries or whatever also
study loans i suspect the banks also may offer on inidvidually -
Borrow from local banks. The loan will be 80 - 90% of the fees that you need to pay per semester. You pay the remaining 10 - 20% yourself, which can be covered again by applying for bursaries and financial helps and what nots.Originally posted by yuko-ogura:loans?wad are they?

Bank loans are interest-free until you grad.
But since you just grad from JC, no need to borrow so early. I don't think you can anyway. -

I took a loan for my fees and for the remaining fees, I used the savings I accumulated from my NSF days. Scrimp and save, dun go canteen, dun order fast food while on duty, everyday try to eat free cookhouse food. When book out, also try not to spend too much.
Can manage lah. -

If you can make it to OCS then ho-seh liao.Originally posted by yuko-ogura:u mean savings from the 2 yrs?steady sia! Can afford to spend a bit and save at the same time. Me only man, cannot spend too much. -
Take the Local Study Award(LSA) from the Army.
Everyone from my BMT company who wanted it got it. Then not many people want either.
No need straight As.
Get like ABB also can
90% go OCS unless you cmi, once you sign the contract. They sponsor your Uni education completely and even got allowance, come back serve 6yrs as a CPT once you complete your Uni education. You leave for studies straight after u com as officer.
If you decide to sign on, confirm u retire as at least a major(even if u cmi). Not too bad a deal if you like the army.
At least thats what my frens who took it up told me. Whether they think its worth it anot is another qn but its a solution.
Anyway care to say ur grades? -
