    • Permanent residents pay S$15,800
    • International students with a subsidy pay S$24,100
    • International students with no subsidies pay S$42,970

  • The number of international students may be capped at each university. At Nanyang, for example, it is 18%.
  • Advanced placement recognition policy varies considerably by institution. Check the Collegeboard AP website for specific details.
