Singapore universities raise fees

ALL six local universities in Singapore will be raising their tuition fees for the new academic year, which begins in August. Some also intend to bump up scholarships and financial aid.

Tuition fees for the new intake of Singapore citizens will go up by S$50 (RM150) a year - or about 0.4 per cent to 0.6 per cent - for the bulk of undergraduate programmes at four universities, according to the Ministry of Education (MOE).
