To advise the Government on, and to keep under review, the operation of the Tertiary Student Finance Scheme — Publicly-funded Programmes, the Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students and the Non-means-tested Loan Schemes to ensure that their objectives and the needs of the community are met.

-
Tertiary Student Finance Scheme — Publicly-funded Programmes and Financial Assistance Scheme for Post-secondary Students –
-
no student who is offered a place in any of the tertiary institutions should be deterred from accepting that place because of a lack of means;
-
financial assistance to students should be based on need; and
-
such assistance should take the form of a combination of grants and loans.
-
-
Non-means-tested Loan Schemes –
-
students may obtain financial assistance, on a non-means-tested basis, to meet the cost of their tertiary tuition fees; and
-
such assistance should take the form of loans on a no-gain-no-loss and cost recovery basis.
