Admissions - Fees for Full-Time Technical Diploma Courses

Fee Structure for Full-time Technical Diploma courses  

ITE uses a cohort-based fee structure for full-time Nitec, Higher Nitec and Technical Diploma courses. Under this fee structure, students’ tuition fees will remain unchanged for the entire duration of the course.

MOE Tuition Grant Scheme 

The Tuition Grant Scheme was introduced by the Government to help students with the costs of tertiary education in Singapore. The Tuition Grant Scheme is currently open to full-time Technical Diploma course students who have been admitted to ITE (subject to guidelines under existing policy).

• To apply for the MOE Tuition Grant, you will need to complete the MOE Tuition Grant Scheme Form and submit it to your College during registration.
• If you do not apply or you are not eligible for the MOE Tuition Grant, you will have to pay the non-subsidised tuition fee.

Additional Information For Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR) *New*

• To be eligible for the Tuition Grant Scheme, full-time Technical Diploma SPR students must not have received tuition grant, subsidy, sponsorship, scholarship from the Singapore Government to obtain qualification levels that are same or higher than their course.
• To be considered and awarded with the Tuition Grant, SPR students are required to apply for the Tuition Grant and sign a Tuition Grant Agreement.
• SPR Tuition Grant recipients must serve a 3-year bond obligation upon graduation.
