Just received the letter today. Will go to one of schools for award ceremony. Yes, must be in school uniform. But i am wondering, should n't our kids wear back their primary school uniform for the ceremony, after all, the primary school is where he/she got award from.

I think they should go in their primary school uniform if the ceremony is before the start of new school year, but if it's held in January, it'll be funny if they still wear their primary sch uniform.

I concur with yr post.

My son received his EAGLES award letter beginning of this week. I think the timing for the letter may depend on when the awards ceremony is scheduled.

We received both letters. The ceremony is today at 2.30pm.

But both scholarship n Eagles award will be at same timing. Don’t know why.

I am in a secondary school and I had received the Edusave award for being the top 25%. However, I am not eligible but I received the Good Progress Award and am I eligible for GPA if I am not ELIGIBLE or RECEIVED the Edusave award (25%)? MOE information is making me confused and can parents help me on this, thanks.

Edusave Scholarship is for top 10%. Whereas, Edusave Bursary is for top 25%. However, only the low income families could qualified for it. You can still qualified for good progress award as long as you have make great improvement compare to last year performance. You don't have to be top 25%. You could go to MOE website to get more information.

Yes, GPA is not subject to income ceiling. You are eligible. Congrats!

Okay, thanks mummy so kiasu and ruohoo97. If that is the case, then I should receive the invitation award for the GPA before 31 January as stated on the letter.

Hi


Can someone clarify please if the scholarship amount is the same as last year for P5, i.e $400 for top 5% and $350 for the next 5%?

Thanks a bunch!
