In recent years, the FAS in Singapore has supported thousands of students from lower-income families. The exact number fluctuates annually based on changes in economic conditions, adjustments in eligibility criteria, and the number of students qualifying for financial assistance.
Estimates from a few years ago indicated that tens of thousands of students were beneficiaries of the FAS across various levels of education, including primary, secondary, and pre-university levels. The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore has been committed to providing support to students in need through this scheme, aiming to assist eligible students with educational expenses.
For the most current and accurate figures on the number of students enrolled in the Financial Assistance Scheme in Singapore, it’s advisable to directly contact the Ministry of Education or refer to their official publications or reports, as they might periodically release updated statistics on the beneficiaries of the FAS.
