How to apply to use the funds

Account holders can apply to use the PSEA funds by establishing a standing order or submitting an ad-hoc withdrawal application. Check with the institution which to apply for.

  1. Establishing a standing order
    This is a one-time application. Once a standing order is established, it can be used to process withdrawal requests received from any approved institution, except public agencies and private training providers. The standing order will remain in force unless it is superseded with a new application or terminated.

    You will need your Singpass to set up a PSEA Standing Order or to terminate your existing standing order.
    • A parent or legal guardian must submit the application on behalf of an account holder who is below 21 years old.
    • Account holders will receive an email informing them of the outcome of their standing order application or termination within 3 weeks after submitting the form.
    • Students will have to update their institution that a standing order has been established.
  2. Submitting an ad hoc withdrawal application

    This is a once-off withdrawal for a specific purpose. You will need to apply each time you want to withdraw from PSEA.

    Approach the institution to apply.
