Means Test
The Step into STEM Scholarship Scheme aims to encourage women's further interest and pursuit of STEM subjects and careers at the post-secondary level by providing students in need with dedicated financial assistance. As such, a means test will be conducted for all applicants to determine eligibility for Scholarship.

Sample of Declaration:
I have ____ family members.
My annual family income is $ ____.

AFI = Gross annual income of the family / Number of family members +1
*For single-parent families of 2 to 3 members, the 'plus 1 factor' in the divisor of the AFI formula will be increased to 2
*Applicants with an AFI of not more than $62,890 will be considered as students with financial need. The amount is based on the "Ready Reckoner" provided by the Government.
