If bonuses are declared, it should be computed as one-twelfth of the annual wage supplements and bonuses received in the last twelve months. Payments-in-kind, reimbursement for transport and other expenses and National Service (NS) allowance earned by NS men are excluded.
- Students only need to meet one of the income assessment criteria (either PCI or GHI) to qualify for the bursary
- If a student meets both the GHI and PCI assessment criteria, the bursary that accords the higher provision will be awarded to the student.
- Students receiving the bursary may concurrently hold additional bursaries or scholarships (without monthly/annual living allowance) administered by SCM or offered by other organisations, if they are assessed to be in need of further financial aid.
- The bursary is tenable on a yearly basis.
- Students may apply the MOE Bursary and CDC/ CCC Bursary in the same application submitted for the SCM’s in-house Scholarships, Merit Awards and Bursaries. Refer to www.scm.sg/scholarships for application details.
- Students who missed the first application period (refer para 6) may still apply for subsequent rounds of MOE & CDC/CCC bursary applications throughout the year. Details on subsequent rounds of application will be announced on the SCM Studentnet via Office of Student Affairs.
- Students who experience changes in their household income due to justifiable unforeseen circumstances (e.g. loss of income due to unemployment) after receiving the bursary, may appeal to be re-assessed for a higher-tier bursary at Office of Student Affairs within the same Academic Year.
