STUDENT CARE FEE ASSISTANCE (SCFA)

Student Care Centres (SCCs) provide before- or after-school care for children aged 7 to 14. If you need to put your child in a student care centre but cannot afford the fees, you may apply for help under SCFA.

SCFA is also available to children with disabilities in Special Student Care Centres. For more information on this service, please refer to www.disability.org.sg.

What SCFA Provides

SCFA subsidises your child’s Student Care Centres fees. The amount of subsidy will depend on the type of Student Care Centres your child attends and your household income.

Who Can Apply

If the child is a PR, then at least one immediate family member of the child must be a Singapore citizen; The child is between 7 and 14 years of age and is attending a MOE-registered school; The mother/single father is working full-time or part-time regularly; and The family’s monthly household income is $2,500 or below. Your application will be assessed to determine if you qualify for the scheme.
