SINGAPORE – The Singapore-Yale-NUS College may have provided a first-rate liberal arts education, but tuition alone came at a high cost of $90,800 per year for each student. Singaporean students paid $20,500 a year for tuition on their own, while the government subsidised the remaining $70,300 a year.

In comparison, a Singaporean student enrolled this year in the newly set up College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS) at the National University of Singapore will pay $8,200 in tuition fees yearly and receive a tuition grant of $22,300 from the government. The total cost amounts to $30,500.
