Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) Scheme

Use PSEA funds to make course fee payment, including supplementary fees, for Part-Time Diplomas and Post-Diplomas, SkillsFuture Career Transition Programmes and Short & Modular Courses with SSG Funding.

Eligibility Criteria:

Singapore Citizen students aged 30 and below who have PSEA funds OR
Students aged 31 and above with Singapore Citizen siblings who have PSEA funds

Please Note:

The account holder’s PSEA will automatically close when they reach the age of 31, typically occurring midway through the calendar year.
The account holder will receive a letter from the Ministry of Education (MOE), sent to their address registered under their NRIC, in March of the year they turn 31. This letter will inform them of the upcoming closure of their account. Account holders can opt to:
- Retain their PSEA for one more year.
- Transfer the balance to their sibling's PSEA.
- Donate to the Education Fund.
For account holders who did not opt in, their PSEA will be closed and any unused PSEA funds will be transferred to their CPF-OA. This transfer is non-reversible, and the funds will be subjected to CPF-OA usage rules.
You can call the 24-hour automated PSEA hotline at 6260 0777 or login to Student Finance System here to check your balance. Latest PSEA balance information will be updated every Wednesday.

If you are paying your fees using both SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) and PSEA, the priority order for fees deduction will be as follows:
1. SkillsFuture Credit (SFC)
2. Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA)
