Students should carefully plan their FYP budgets. The School will only provide subsidy for 50% of expenses, up to a maximum of S$200 per FYP, whichever is lower. Not all expenses will be reimbursed and the School reserves the right to determine the types of items that can be subsidized. If an FYP is financially sponsored by an outside organization, whether in whole or in part, the FYP Committee shall determine whether the FYP group is eligible for subsidy from the School. The students must declare their total actual budget, their total funding amount and funding sources, and the total amount of the receipts they are submitting for subsidy.
Students can only claim reimbursements at the end of their FYPs. Claim forms must be:
| 1 |
Accompanied by receipts |
| 2 |
Signed by the FYP supervisor |
| 3 |
Submitted to Madam Lim (2nd floor General Office) by 1st May 2009 |
The School shall only reimburse the FYP team leader. Once the subsidy check is prepared, the School shall contact the FYP team leader to come to SCI to personally sign and collect the payment. It is the FYP team leaders' responsibility to distribute the subsidy payment among his/her team members.
For students who want to receive subsidy, the following guidelines should be taken into consideration:
| 1 |
FYP subsidy supports expenses incurred in the execution of FYP project itself |
| 2 |
Cost incurred for FYP report photocopy and archiving are not reimbursable. However, photocopying done in the course of the FYP project is allowable |
| 3 |
Postage is a reimbursable expense |

Transportation claims:
• Transportation claims can be for public transportation only, with the exception of the production period for video projects. Students should download a public transport form available at the FYP website and fill in the information required (date, entry and exit points, reason for travel)
• For video projects, you may claim taxi fare, car rental and mileage during the production phase of the project only. You may claim transportation costs for crew and cast. If you use your own car, you may claim mileage but not petrol costs. Mileage forms are available for downloading at the FYP website |
