Student Travel Subsidy (STS) for Tertiary or Post-secondary Students

Amount of Subsidy

• The amount of travel subsidy is calculated on the basis of the average fare on public transport between the districts in which the student studies and resides during term-time.

• There are two levels of subsidy, namely full level and half level. If you are entitled to maximum financial assistance under the Tertiary Student Finance Scheme – Publicly‐funded Programmes or Financial Assistance Scheme for Post‐secondary Students, you will be eligible for full level travel subsidy. If you are entitled to assistance below the maximum level, you will be eligible for travel subsidy at half level.
