Every Singaporean child aged seven to 20 will receive a one-time top-up of S$200 to their Edusave account or Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) by the end of this month.

This was announced by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Ministry of Education (MOE) in a joint statement today, May 12.

Credited directly into recipients' accounts

No action is required from recipients', as the top-up will be credited directly into recipients' Edusave or PSEA account.

Eligible recipients will then receive letters informing them of the successful top-up in June 2021.

The top-up is expected to benefit about 532,500 children, and is a part of the Household Support Package announced at Budget 2021.

The funds in the Edusave account and PSEA can be used to pay for approved fees and enrichment programmes.
