Financial Assistance

Who is it for?

FAS helps financially needy Singapore Citizen students, in our Government and Government-Aided Schools, to meet basic schooling expenses.

As FAS for the year 2021 expires on 31 December 2021, parents/guardians who wish to apply for FAS for the year 2022 are required to submit a new application for consideration and approval.

How to apply?

Application period is from Wednesday, 13 October 2021 to Wednesday, 3 November 2021. Parents/Guardians may arrange for their child/ward to collect the application form from the school’s General Office. Alternatively, you may also print the application form on their own. The application form is available on Parents Gateway and the school website.

Please click HERE to download the application form.

·     Application for FAS for Primary 1 to Primary 5 students, in 2022:

Parents/Guardians with children studying in different Government or Government-aided schools need to complete only ONE application form for all the school-going children and submit the form to the school of ANY child. The school which receives the application form will inform parents/guardians of the outcome for all the children.

NOTE: For parents/guardians who applied for FAS through the sibling’s school, please submit the approval letter to Rivervale Primary School’s General Office as soon as the approval letter is received in order to better facilitate the issuance of the free textbooks and school attire.

·     Application for FAS for Primary 6 students going to Secondary 1, in 2022:

Primary 6 students can apply for FAS at their primary school before the release of the PSLE results in November 2021. The primary school will process the application and inform parents/guardians of the outcome. After the release of the posting results, a copy of the approval letter is to be submitted to the secondary school to alert them of the grant.

For more information on the scheme, please refer to the MOE FAS 2022 Pamphlet or you may visit MOE’s website.

All application forms are to be duly signed and submitted together with copies of all relevant documents to the school’s General Office by Wednesday, 3 November 2021. Parents/Guardians are to seal the form (Pages 1, 2, 3, & 7 only) and all supporting documents in an envelope and inform your child/ward to submit it to the school’s General Office.

We seek your kind understanding that incomplete submissions or failing to submit by the deadline will delay the processing of applications.

Parents/Guardians are advised not to purchase any textbooks and/or school attire before receiving the outcome of your application. You will be informed of the outcome via phone call once their application has been approved, tentatively by end of November 2021.

Thank you.
