Post Secondary Education Scheme (PSEA)

This scheme lets you use your Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) funds to pay for tuition and other school fees.

Last updated 13 April 2026

If you’re a Singaporean or have a Singaporean sibling with a PSEA, you may be eligible to apply. PSEA isn’t a bank account. It’s set up and managed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and is automatically opened for all eligible Singaporeans

How to apply

1) For approved fees and charges

To use your PSEA to pay for your tuition or other approved fees, you’ll need to set up a Standing Order (SO) with MOE.

Establish a Standing Order (SO) with MOE

The SO is a one-time application. Once approved, your PSEA funds will automatically be used to pay for all your tuition and other fees (e.g. Supplementary fee, Student Overseas Travel [SOT] fees, etc.) throughout your course of study in RP, until it is depleted or when the SO instruction with MOE is terminated.

Please note that the PSEA system will be under maintenance from 13 April 2026 to 30 April 2026.

Application

The Online application is mandatory for students using their own or their sibling’s PSEA.

  • If you're 21 or older: Submit the application online using your Singpass.

  • If you're below 21, your parent or legal guardian must submit the application on your behalf using their Singpass.

Termination of Standing Order (SO) for PSEA

You can terminate your SO anytime by submitting the PSEA Standing Order Termination Form online.

This can be submitted by:

  1. the Student (Account Holder) aged 21 and above; or 

  2. the Parent or legal guardian, if the Student (Account Holder) is below 21 years old.

Continuing Education and Training (CET) Students

If you're a CET student planning to use your PSEA funds, MOE requires all PSEA withdrawal applications for CET-approved courses to include a unique SSG / SGE course code that’s been officially assigned to your course.

This code follows the format: TGS-XXXXXXXXXX.
(where XXXXXXXXXX is a 10-digit number).

You can find your assigned course code by:

  • Visiting the SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)’s Training Exchange website; or

  • Checking your email sent by RP Academy for Continuing Education (ACE) or Office of the Registrar (ORG). It will contain the unique SSG/SGE course code linked to your approved course.

2) PSEA Loans and Approved Financing Schemes

You can use your PSEA funds to repay outstanding principal and interest on government education loans—such as the Tuition Fee Loan, Study Loan, or Overseas Student Programme Loan—as well as approved schemes like the CPF Education Scheme, taken during your course of study.

To make a repayment using your PSEA, submit your application online via the MOE website.

Note: If you’ve applied for both the PSEA Standing Order and the CPF Education Scheme, your fees will be deducted from your PSEA funds first. CPF deductions will only begin after your PSEA has been fully used.
