Who is eligible for TTFS?

What does TTFS subsidise?

How do I apply for TTFS?

How do I submit my pending documents?

Do I need to apply for TTFS every year during the course of my study?

How will my institution know if the TTFS application has been approved and how will my fees be paid?

I do not qualify under the TTFS revised criteria as my monthly household per capita income (PCI) is above $2,000. My family still finds it financially challenging to fund my tertiary education. Are there other avenues which I can tap on?

If my double-barrelled race has Malay as the second component (e.g. Indian-Malay), am I eligible for TTFS?

If I am not eligible for TTFS, how can I get help to pay my tuition fees?

I am doing my second diploma. Am I eligible for TTFS?

I benefited from TTFS during my polytechnic study. I will be progressing into degree level at one of the government institutions. Should I reapply TTFS?

If I am an existing applicant, how do I view my existing applications on MyMENDAKI portal?
