Introduced in 2023, the Scheme provides monthly stipends to under-privileged households, through top-ups to their EZ-Link Cards. The MTS was designed to assist students who ‘fall through the cracks’, i.e. do not qualify for other forms of educational or social assistance schemes.

Primary school beneficiaries will receive $40 or $60 a month and secondary school beneficiaries receive $80 or $90 a month via their EZ-Link Card. To meet the community’s evolving needs, we’re continuing our monthly $120 payment for eligible post-secondary students.

To date, the Scheme has benefited over 300 students from 25 schools in the Southwest District.
