students are revised accordingly to reflect that GST subsidy is provided on both their fees payable and tuition grant.
Diploma programmes offered by NAFA are funded by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) and exempted from the Fee
Protection Scheme under the Edutrust requirements of the SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG).
Fees for AY 2025 are approved by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE).
Fees for Diploma programmes under Fashion Studies Programme include
the final-year graduation show fee.
Tuition Grants
The Tuition Grant Scheme (TGS) was introduced by the Government to help students with the cost of tertiary education in Singapore.
Eligible
Singapore Citizens are automatically awarded
a Tier A Tuition Grant, which is the highest level of tuition fee subsidy, Singapore Citizens thus pay the lowest tuition fees. There is no bond obligation.
Effective from Academic Year 2025 onwards, Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above
will get subsidies to pursue another full-time diploma.
Eligible
Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs) may choose to apply for a Tier B Tuition Grant only. Successful applicants are required to work for a Singapore entity
for three years upon graduation.
Eligible
international students may choose to apply for a Tier C Tuition Grant only. There is a limited number of Tuition Grants available for international students, and selection is competitive
and based on merit. Successful applicants are required to work for a Singapore entity for three years upon graduation.
However, students who have exceeded the maximum TGS cap of ten semesters, or who have graduated from local polytechnics
(SP, NP, NYP, TP or RP), universities (NUS, NTU, SMU, SIT, SUSS and SUTD) or LASALLE College of the Arts, are no longer eligible for the Tuition Grant and will have to pay the full programme fees for their study at the academy.
SPRs and
international students who applied for the grant successfully are required to execute a Tuition Grant Agreement with the Government of Singapore, represented by the Ministry of Education (MOE). NAFA will guide matriculated students with their application
for the Tuition Grant. It is, however, the student’s responsibility to complete the process of the Tuition Grant Agreement within the deadline set by the MOE. SPRs and international students who do not fulfil the obligations, or do not complete
serving their Tuition Grant bonds will be required to pay liquidated damages. Liquidated damages will be computed based on the prevailing Tuition Grant (as advised by MOE) received during the programme of study, plus 10% compounded interest per annum.
