Subsidi Yuran Tuisyen Pengajian Tinggi (TTFS)

Introduction

The Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy (TTFS) Scheme, which was introduced in 1991, is an education subsidy for Malay students which covers their tuition fees at tertiary institutions.

With effect from 1 January 2011, students with Malay as their first component race of a double-barrelled race (i.e., Malay-Indian or Malay-Chinese) are also eligible for the scheme. Since 2018, income eligibility criteria for the scheme are revised to benefit more Malay students in tertiary institutions.

Student is eligible for MOE Tuition Grant or an equivalent government subsidy.
Student is pursuing first diploma or degree on a full-time basis at a local government tertiary institution.
Malay students who are not receiving any subsidy or are in receipt of partial (75% or 50%) subsidy under the Tertiary Tuition Fee Subsidy (TTFS), may apply for the Supplementary Assistance Scheme. Please click here for more information.

Reviews

The income eligibility criteria will ensure that students in financially challenged families are not denied access to higher education, while cultivating the spirit of self-reliance in more well-to-do families.
As Malay households continue to progress financially, the Government will review the income criteria periodically.
MENDAKI will exercise flexibility in approving subsidies for families with extenuating circumstances, such as those supporting more than one child for tertiary education or families who may have members with chronic medical problems. This appeal mechanism will continue to function.
