Overview
Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) Overview
The Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) is a Singapore Government scheme that helps Singapore Citizens pay for approved post-secondary education and skill-upgrading courses. Managed by the Ministry of Education (MOE), PSEA funds can be used for eligible course fees and other approved education-related expenses.
As at February 2026, PSEA accounts in Singapore held an aggregate balance of S$2.1 billion. Based on available data from the previous five years, 59% of PSEA balances remained unspent when accounts closed and were transferred to CPF Ordinary Accounts.
Your PSEA generally remains available until the year you turn 31. Before closure, you may have options to extend it for another year, transfer the remaining balance to a sibling's PSEA or donate it to the Education Fund. Otherwise, unused funds are transferred to your CPF Ordinary Account and can no longer be used for education.

More FAQs about PSEA-eligible Courses
What is the Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA)?
The Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) is a vital scheme established by the Singaporean government. Its primary goal is to support Singapore Citizens by easing the financial burden of post-secondary education. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to investing in the nation’s future by making education more accessible and affordable.
Who is eligible to use PSEA for courses?
Singapore Citizens with an available PSEA balance can use their funds for eligible approved programmes. Your account generally remains open until the year you turn 31, subject to MOE’s account closure arrangements.
How can I check my PSEA balance?
Log in to MOE’s Student Finance System using Singpass. You can view your total balance, pending deductions, and available balance before deciding how much to use towards your course.
How do I use PSEA to pay for a Vertical Institute course?
After enrolment in an eligible course, Vertical Institute submits the withdrawal request through MOE’s Student Finance System. You will receive an e-notification, log in with Singpass, review the request, and authorise the PSEA withdrawal.
Can I combine PSEA with other subsidies?
Yes. Depending on eligibility and the course, PSEA may be used alongside funding such as SSG subsidies, SkillsFuture Credit, and NTUC UTAP to further reduce your cash payment.
What happens to unused PSEA funds?
Before your account closes, you may have options to extend it for one year, transfer the balance to an eligible sibling’s PSEA, or donate it to the Education Fund. Otherwise, the remaining balance transfers to your CPF Ordinary Account, and the transfer cannot be reversed.
What other subsidies can I use with PSEA?
At Vertical Institute, eligible learners can receive up to 70% SSG course fee subsidy. You may also stack PSEA with SkillsFuture Credit and NTUC UTAP, which covers 50% of unfunded course fees, capped at up to S$500 per year. Some eligible AI courses may also qualify NTUC members for 50% UTAP support on approved AI tool subscriptions, subject to prevailing terms and limits.
