Value of Scholarships and Tuition Grants Given to International Students

Ms Hazel Poa asked the Minister for Education in 2024, what is the total value of scholarships and tuition grants given to international students in our schools and autonomous universities, respectively.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: The total value of scholarships and tuition grants given to international students in our schools, polytechnics and Autonomous Universities is comparable to that of five years ago. The value of scholarships given to international students amount to less than 1% of the Ministry of Education's (MOE's) budget. The total combined value of scholarships and tuition grants amount to less than 2% of MOE's budget.
