The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS – the Fee Protection under the Insurance Scheme) serves to protect students’ course fees in the event a private education institution is unable to continue operating due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. The Fee Protection Scheme also protects students if the private education institution fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students arising from judgment made against it by the Singapore courts.
The private education institutions with EduTrust license are required to adopt the Fee Protection Scheme to provide full protection to all course fees paid by their students.
All course fees refer to all monies paid by the students to be enrolled in a private education institution, excluding the course application fee, miscellaneous fees (non-compulsory and non-standard fee paid only when necessary or where applicable, for example, the re-exam fee or charges for credit card payment etc,), GST and others being defined.
ACE is adopting the FPS Insurance Scheme from Liberty Insurance at the moment to provide fee protection to all the students and the FPS is under the group insurance protection.
