The SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy supports and encourages lifelong learning and helps Singaporeans stay responsive to a changing workplace. Recognising that mid-career individuals may face greater challenges in undertaking training, the Government has implemented this programme to encourage mid-career Singaporeans to upskill and reskill.
All Singaporeans aged 40 years old and above are eligible for this enhanced subsidy. They will receive higher subsidies of up to 90% of course fees for all WSQ courses at TaF.tc
Students are not required to submit an application for the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy. They will be accorded this enhanced subsidy when they submit enrolment for the WSQ course with their NRIC.
More information about SkillsFuture programmes and initiatives are available at: http://www.skillsfuture.sg/enhancedsubsidy.
The PSEA scheme is part of the Government's efforts to encourage every Singaporean to complete his post-secondary education. PSEA is not a bank account. It is administered by MOE and is opened automatically for all Singaporeans based on the following criterion.

In the year he turns 7 years old for a child born between 2001 and 2005, or
In the year he turns 13 years old for a child born in or after 2006.
Singaporeans who are pursuing WSQ courses at TaF.tc can use their own or their siblings' PSE funds to pay for the approved fees at TaF.tc.,
