1. Calculate GHI and PCI
- GHI is gross monthly household income.
- PCI is gross monthly household income divided by the number of household members counted under the scheme's rules.
The provider decides which household members and income sources count. Use its definition, not a generic calculator result alone.
2. Check the AY2026 government bursary table
For full-time undergraduate students, MOE's current table lists:
| Monthly GHI or PCI band | Scheme | Annual undergraduate bursary |
| GHI up to S$4,000 or PCI up to S$1,000 | HECB | S$6,300 |
| GHI S$4,001 to S$5,500 or PCI S$1,001 to S$1,375 | HECB | S$5,100 |
| GHI S$5,501 to S$9,000 or PCI S$1,376 to S$2,250 | HEB | S$3,250 |
| GHI S$9,001 to S$12,000 or PCI S$2,251 to S$3,000 | HEB | S$1,350 |
The same MOE factsheet has separate figures for ITE, diploma, part-time and Medicine or Dentistry students. Apply through your institution's financial aid office.
