ITE Bursaries 2026: HECB, HEB, HOMES and MFAS

Q: How much government bursary can a full-time ITE student receive in AY2026?
A: For Nitec and Higher Nitec, the four published cash amounts are S$1,850, S$1,400, S$700, and S$490 per year. The highest HECB tier also includes a 100 percent tuition-fee subsidy. Technical Diploma amounts are S$3,050, S$2,700, S$2,050, and S$950.

TL;DR Apply online through ITE's student portal. ITE then uses the government HOMES system for means-testing. The current pages do not publish a universal application deadline, processing time, or October and March payout schedule. MFAS is S$200 per month, but the College decides the number of awarded months according to need and available funds.

Who This Guide Covers

The current ITE bursary page covers full-time subsidised Singaporean students in Nitec, Higher Nitec, and Technical Diploma courses. Both HECB and HEB exclude a student who concurrently holds a full scholarship. ITE describes a full scholarship as one that typically covers tuition fees and provides a monthly or annual living allowance.

This table does not apply to Singapore Permanent Residents, international students, or part-time ITE students. Part-time courses have separate rules and amounts.
