SINGAPORE - More than 10,600 beneficiaries of Yayasan Mendaki's Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidies were given assistance in pursuing further studies to the tune of $43 million last year - an all-time high.The scheme subsidises fees for eligible Malay students pursuing their first diploma or degree at local government tertiary institutions.
Mendaki, which taps a variety of sources for funds including grants, donations and investments, had to spend $1.9 million from its reserves so far this year, which Mr Masagos said had been mainly spent on securing laptops for children in the community during the circuit breaker period, when most lessons were held virtually.
Typically, applications would have closed by the end of July, but students can currently still apply for TTFS. Senior Minister of State for Manpower and Defence Manpower Zaqy Mohamed, who is the group's deputy chairman and was also at the press conference, said that another priority for Mendaki is supporting community members whose jobs were affected by Covid-19 disruptions.
