The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) serves to protect the students' fees in the event a Private Education Institution (PEI) is unable to continue operations due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. Furthermore, the FPS protects the student if the PEI fails to pay penalties or return fees to the student arising from judgments made against it by the Singapore courts. There are two schemes that a PEI can choose from - the Fee Protection Under the Escrow Scheme or the Fee Protection Under the Insurance Scheme.In the case of Fee Protection Under the Escrow Scheme, tuition fees paid by the students to the school will have to be left in the custody of a third party, in this case, the CPE-endorsed banks, DBS and HSBC Bank. When specified conditions for its release have been met, the banks will disburse the tuition fees on a regular basis to the school. In the case of Fee Protection Under the Insurance Scheme, insurance will be purchase from HSBC Insurance (Singapore) Pte. Limited to protect the tuition fee portion for their students.
