Needy secondary school students get $100,800 transport grant

To help secondary school students from low-income families who are struggling with transport costs, Central Singapore Community Development Council (CDC) and Maybank Singapore have set up a new transport grant to get them to school.

The Maybank 'Get-to-School' transport grant stipulates that over the next three years, up to 300 students from secondary schools in the central district will receive $360 each annually to subsidise their transport costs.

Maybank Singapore will commit up to $100,800 to the Transport Grant over the next three years to benefit some 280 students from secondary schools in the central district.

To kick off the scheme, 65 students from five secondary schools - Outram Secondary School, Henderson Secondary School, Queensway Secondary School, Beatty Secondary School and Mayflower Secondary School - will be first to receive the grants.
