Student Care Fee Assistance

Student Care Fee Assistance (SCFA) provides fee assistance for children from working families whose gross household income (GHHI) is $4,500 or less for families with 4 or fewer members, or per capita income (PCI) of $1,125 or less for families with 5 or more members in Student Care Centres (SCCs).

  • Your child is a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident, and at least one immediate family member in the same household is a Singapore Citizen.
  • Both you and your spouse work at least 56 hours per month.
  • Your child attends a Student Care Centre registered with MSF.

All SCFA applications must be submitted online via SupportGoWhere. Please click here to find out about the benefits to apply online.

We have enhanced our means-testing process through the Household Means Eligibility System (HOMES). HOMES is a Government System supporting public schemes in their conduct of means-tests to determine the level of assistance for citizens.

MSF and/or HOMES may contact applicants to request additional information or supporting documents.
