SMU POSTGRADUATE EMERGENCY GRANT
The SMU Postgraduate Emergency Grant is a one-off emergency financial grant by SMU to assist postgraduate students facing unforeseen financial crisis and would require interim financial assistance while their families seek for long-term solutions to meet their financial needs.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
- Current SMU postgraduate students who are faced with a sudden financial situation (e.g. serious illness of a family member who is to undergo medical treatment/surgery, incapacitation of bread-winner, retrenchment of bread-winner, etc).
- Applicant's household monthly per capita income should not exceed S$1,500.
(Note: Household monthly income per person is calculated by taking the total gross household monthly income divided by the total number of family members living together.)
BENEFITS
- Up to S$2,000 (depending on level of financial difficulties)
- The grant does not carry a repayment obligation, however, recipients are expected to “pay it forward” when their financial situation improved. This can be through a contribution back to the SMU Resilience Fund.
