Fees and subsidy

MEP students do not need to pay any additional school fees.

Students enrolled in the MEP within an Independent School, such as Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Methodist Girls’ School, Raffles Girls’ School and Raffles Institution, are eligible for a subsidy on their school fees with a cap of $2,400 per student yearly.

  • The fee subsidy applies to all nationalities.
  • Edusave scholarships for Independent Schools (ESIS) awardees receiving the maximum ESIS coverage of $2,400 will not receive the fee subsidy in addition to their ESIS award amount.
  • Students who are accepted into the MEP Centre and enrolled in other Independent Schools do not qualify for the fee subsidy.
