For students opting to pay their fees via the GIRO mode, the various fee payment deadlines will be pushed back by about one month (end-September for Semester 1 and end-February for Semester 2).

For students using a combination of financial aid schemes for the payment of their subsidised tuition fees, the disbursement sequence is as follows (where applicable):

• Scholarship that covers 100% of tuition fee / MENDAKI Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy

• SkillsFuture Credit

• CPF Education Loan Scheme (CELS)*

• NUS Study Loan*

• Tuition Fee Loan (TFL)*

* If your tuition fee is already covered by a scholarship/NUS Bursary/TTFS, schemes such as the PSEA, CELS, TFL and NUS Study Loan (Tuition Fee portion) will not be applicable and will not be disbursed if you are an existing recipient.

# For Medicine/Dentistry students, the Higher Education Community Bursary/Higher Education Bursary will be used to offset your tuition fee first (before schemes c to f above).
