CPF Education Loan Scheme

The CPF Education Loan Scheme is a loan scheme which allows you to use your own/your parent’s Ordinary Account (OA) savings to pay for your subsidised tuition fees. The total amount withdrawn for tuition fees plus accrued interest has to be repaid in full with cash. Repayment will start one year after date of graduation or date of leaving the institution, whichever is earlier. Interest starts accruing from the day of withdrawal, and is pegged to the prevailing CPF Ordinary Account interest rate which is currently 2.5% per annum.
As students taking full-time government subsidised courses leading to a diploma at an approved local tertiary institution, you may apply for a loan from your own or your parents’ CPF savings to pay your tuition fees.
New students who wish to apply for this scheme must submit the electronic application through CPF Board’s website at https://www.cpf.gov.sg/member/faq/other- schemes/cpf-education-loan-scheme during the CPF application period after your successful enrolment.
Only online applications will be accepted.
Students and the CPF members must each have a SingPass account in order to apply. If you or the CPF members do not have SingPass accounts, please apply at http://www.singpass.gov.sg. CPF Board requires students to have email accounts.
CPF Board also requires the CPF members to have email accounts as an email will be sent to members to login with their SingPass to give consent to the use of CPF savings for the students’ applications. CPF members must login using their own SingPass within 14 days from the date of the application, to agree to the use of their CPF savings. Otherwise, applications will be rejected.
Students are required to print a copy of the successful e-application from CPF Board and submit it when you report to your posted campus for registration.
Students can login to ‘My CPF Online Service’ at http://www.cpf.gov.sg and check under ‘My Activities’ for the status of your application.
