NTU Post-graduate Incentives

To encourage lifelong learning and make postgraduate education more accessible, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is introducing new initiatives to defray the cost of a majority of its coursework-based master’s programmes starting from the new academic year in 2024.

All NTU alumni will receive an additional 10 per cent tuition fee rebate. These initiatives, announced by NTU President Prof Ho Teck Hua at the NTU Alumni Homecoming event, are meant to promote lifelong learning and make postgraduate education more accessible for all. Please note that tuition fee rebates only apply to non-subsidised, self-financed programmes.         

The new alumni rebate and subsidy for a majority of NTU’s coursework-based master’s programmes add to the University’s efforts to encourage lifelong learning.

From the academic year starting in 2024, Singaporeans and permanent residents who enrol in self-financed master’s by coursework programmes at NTU will enjoy a $5,000 subsidy, with those in need of financial aid will receive up to $10,000.

For academic year starting in 2025, the $5,000 subsidy for Singaporeans and permanent residents will continue to apply. New students enrolled in AY25 in need of financial aid will receive up to $15,000.

Eligibility Criteria

For students under AY2024 intake, eligibility shall be assessed based on monthly household Per Capita Income (PCI) is less than or equal to S$2,500 or Gross Household Income (GHI) is less than or equal to S$10,000.
For students from AY2025 intake onwards, an applicant shall be deemed eligible if their monthly income is below $6,000. In cases where the applicant is not employed at the time of application, eligibility shall be assessed based on the spouse’s monthly income, who must be working with an income below $6,000.

Eligible student’s subsidy will be disbursed proportionally across the duration of the coursework programmes, to offset the tuition fees charged for each respective semester/trimester.
