A helping hand for life’s practical needs
Managing the impact of a brain tumour is costly. If you require financial aid during this period of time, the BTSS FAS offers a range of funding tailored to your specific needs.
BTSS FUNDING OPTIONS
BTSS Welfare Grant
A BTSS Welfare Grant provides temporary financial assistance for member adults, young people or children with brain tumours, to cover a wide range of practical needs. It does not cover treatment or medication, but is designed to ease hardship caused by additional costs of travel to appointments, care or retraining, for example. This can include things such as household bills, extra clothing, or a much needed break. Every month we aim to give at least one grant to a needy beneficiary.
The maximum amount of welfare grant is $2800 per annum. Applicants must be BTSS members and are Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent Residents.

BTSS Tuition Grant
Going back to school after a brain tumour treatment can be challenging to many of our young beneficiaries. With that in mind, the BTSS Tuition Grant aims to help school-going members cope with the rigors of academic work. The value of this grant is $3300 for one year. Members will be accessed based on the financial situation of the family.
