School Fees & Fee Remission Scheme (2021-2022)
Fee Remission Scheme(2021-2022)
The School offers a fee remission scheme for needy students (including those from families receiving the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) and students receiving financial assistance provided by the Student Financial Office (SFO)). Subject to the availability of funds in the fee remission/scholarship scheme, the School will offer fee remission to needy students.
Applications are normally made before the commencement of a school year, but exceptional circumstances (such as a family member contracting chronic illness which requires high medical expenses, sudden and drastic changes to the family’s financial situation, etc) would warrant special consideration and suitable arrangements.
Needy students should apply for fee remission through their parents or legal guardians, and depending on the gross annual income of the students’ family, different levels of fee remission, capped at full fee cut (100%), can be provided.
Level of Fee Remission | School Fees Payable per year |
Full (100%) | Nil |
Three-Quarters (75%) | 25% of the school fee |
Half (50%) | 50% of the school fee |
Quarter (25%) | 75% of the school fee |
