Evaluation process

Applicants will be assessed based on their career plans, how they intend to use the skills and knowledge from their course, their learning track record, among other considerations. Only exemplary applicants will receive the Study Award. 

Evaluation of applications will take about 8 - 10 weeks after the closing dates for Award application. All applicants will be notified via email of the outcome of their application. 

1. Once the application has been approved after 8-10 weeks, how will SkillsFuture reimburse participants the SGD 5,000 monetary award?
   
   The award monies will be disbursed directly to the individual who is successful in his/her application via bank transfer
   
   
2. Under the eligibility criteria, it states that course cannot have commenced at the point of application, does this mean that I can only apply for a course 8-10 weeks after the application and only when the application is successful? 
   
   As part of the application process, applicants are required to submit 'letter of acceptance" from the course they have enrolled for. This means they should proceed to apply and be accepted for the course prior to the application.
   
   Applicants are required to read on the application process and ensure their course they have enrolled for falls within the window period: Oct 2021 – Mar 2022. IHRP trusts that applicants will do their due diligence to check through the website before applying.
   
   
3. What happens if my application is not successful after payment has been made to training providers?
   
   IHRP encourages all applicants to apply for their respective courses despite the outcome of the award. The award is typically oversubscribed by 3-4 times in each application window, and only a limited number of awards is given out each time.
   
   IHRP reserves the right to not disclose the selection due to confidential information. For more information on the awards requirements and eligibility, please visit the website
