A lot of people want a shortcut. I find the best shortcut is the long way, which can be described in two words: work hard. At RP, I have learnt that hard work pays off.

Bursaries

Bursaries go a long way to help students who are in need to defray their tuition fees and expenses for the entire year. The bursaries also enable students to reduce their part-time work so that they can concentrate and excel in their studies.

RP Needy Student Fund

RP's Needy Student Fund (currently supporting Student Pocket Money Scheme (SPMS) and Student Emergency Money Scheme (SEMS)) is initiated by RP to help students from low-income families tide over their daily financial difficulties or unprecedented crisis due to various reasons (e.g. loss of main breadwinner in the family, retrenchment, hospitalisation, bankruptcy etc.).

RP Student Development Fund

RP's Student Development Fund is initiated by RP to support our students’ holistic development in various programmes like service-learning activities, overseas travel, student life activities or skills and training development. The Fund ensures that every student regardless of financial background, will be supported on their unique learning journey in RP, every step of the way.
