This scheme allows students to use PSE Funds to pay for Tuition Fees as well as other fees. Singaporeans or students with Singaporean siblings who have Post-Secondary Education Account (PSE) may apply. PSEA is not a bank account. It is administered by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and is automatically opened for all eligible Singaporeans.
