Today, Singaporeans aged 40 and above are eligible for the Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES), which covers up to 90% of course fees for courses funded by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG).
From 1 May 2024, the SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) top-up of $4,000, which does not expire, can further offset nett course fees for selected courses that have better employability outcomes. For more details, please visit the SkillsFuture Credit programme page.
From Academic Year 2025, Singaporeans will qualify for Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy for another publicly-funded full-time Diploma from ITE (Technical/Technical Engineering Diploma), Polytechnics (via Direct Admissions Exercise) and Arts Institutions (NAFA, LASALLE). The list of full-time diplomas and application periods for admission can be found on the institutions’ websites.
