The Student Notebook Subsidy Scheme provides financial subsidy to students from the lower income household to purchase a personal notebook for their studies at NAFA.

Eligibility:

• Full time Diploma (1^st & 2^nd Year) & Degree (1^st & 2^nd Year) students
• Full time students enrolled in the NAFA Foundation Programme
• Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents
• Financially needy students, with household per-capita income (PCI) not exceeding S$1,100 per month or Gross Household Income (GHI) not exceeding $4,400 per month

*Each student may only receive one subsidy throughout his/her Diploma/Degree programme in NAFA OR after a lapse of 3 Academic Years, whichever applies earlier.

Note:

• Gross Household Income (GHI) refers to the total gross monthly income of family members living in the same household.
• Per-capita income (PCI) refers to gross household income (GHI) divided by the number of family members living in the same household.

Amount of Subsidy:
The household income will determine the subsidy that the student is eligible for. The income criteria is based on a 2-tier system where students will be eligible for the following subsidies:

Household income per month	Eligible Subsidy
PCI ≤ S$750 or GHI ≤ S$3,000	Tier 1: One-time subsidy of $1,000
PCI S$751 - S$1,100 or GHI S$3,001 - S$4,400	Tier 2: One-time subsidy of $500

Students only need to meet one of the income assessment criteria (either PCI or GHI) to qualify for the subsidy. If a student meets both the GHI and PCI assessment criteria, the subsidy that accords the higher provision will be awarded to the student.
