The Tuition Fee Loan (TFL) is a Government education loan to help students who require assistance to pay their tuition fees.

Singapore University of Social Sciences has appointed DBS Bank Ltd as the agent to administer the TFL Scheme.

Eligibility

The TFL is available to all Law students of Singapore University of Social Sciences who are Singapore Citizens (SC) or Singapore Permanent Residents (PR).

The following categories of students are not eligible for TFL:

• Students receiving Government/Statutory Board/Singapore University of Social Sciences scholarships which cover 100% tuition fees
• Students using Central Provident Fund ("CPF") savings for payment of 100% of their tuition fees
• Students receiving full tuition fee subsidy from Mendaki
• Students who are not SC or PR
   

Loan Quantum

The TFL covers up to 90% of the subsidised tuition fee payable by SC. It does not cover any other miscellaneous fees. You may choose any of these loan quanta: 30%/50%/80%/90% of the total subsidised tuition fees payable by SC.

The University has the discretion on the quantum of the loan to be granted based on its assessment of the student's needs for financial assistance.

Students who have obtained other loans (e.g., CPF Education Scheme) that cover less than 90% of the subsidised fees payable by SC are eligible to take up the TFL to cover the remaining fees payable, as long as the total TFL amount awarded does not exceed 90% of the subsidised fee payable by SC. The total loan amounts (from both the TFL and other loans) should not exceed 100% of the fees payable by the student.

Guarantor

You would need a guarantor to apply for TFL. Although there is no income qualification, your guarantor must be:

• Between 21 and 60 years
• Not a bankrupt
• A Singapore Citizen (SC) if applicant is a SC; a SC or Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) if applicant is a PR
  

Repayment

The repayment terms are as follows:

• The minimum amount of repayment is S$100 per month and the maximum repayment period is 20 years.
• In the event that the borrower leaves the University without completing the degree programme, the loan outstanding will immediately become due and payable. The borrower may, however, repay the outstanding sum by monthly instalments on such terms and conditions as stipulated by the University.

Interest Rate

Interest on TFL will start accruing on the first (1st) day of the third (3rd) month following the borrower's graduation/withdrawal. For graduates/withdrawals with remaining National Service obligations, the same interest commencement date will apply.

The interest on TFL is computed based on the average prime rates of the three local banks, namely DBS, OCBC and UOB, prevailing on the first day of each quarter or such other rates as may be determined from time to time by the bank. Late payment charges will be levied at the rate of 1% per month on instalment in arrears.
