Important notes

  • Repayment of the CPF education loan will include both the principal and accrued interest. Interest starts to accrue once CPF savings are deducted from your lender’s Ordinary Account (OA).
  • Repayment will start 1 year after you graduate or leave your educational institution. The loan has to be fully repaid within 12 years.
  • More interest can be earned in your lender’s OA if you choose other financing options, such as the Ministry of Education Tuition Fee Loan.
  • Loan applications can only be made before your academic semester starts. View application schedule.
  • Repayment must be made in cash to your lender’s OA. You cannot use your own CPF savings to repay your education loan.
