Upkeep for Students on Scholarship

The University recommends that scholarship donors include provision for a return fare during
the long vacation for students who are not from the campus country. Where a student is
required to remain at St. Augustine for academic reasons, a maintenance grant in the sum of
TT$7,000 should be made available to cover a period of 13 weeks.

Arrival/Termination Allowance
The University recommends that a settling-in grant of TT$2,000 be paid directly to students,
to help with expenses for the first month.

An allowance of TT$1,000 is also recommended to help the student meet additional costs at
the end of the academic programme.

Government Assistance for Tuition Expenses (GATE)

(Citizens of Trinidad & Tobago only)
1. Students may apply to the Ministry of Tertiary Education and Skills Training for grants to
cover their tuition fees. However, students must register with GATE to obtain a GATE ID
number which would then be used to apply for GATE funding on-line at
www.e-gate.gov.tt
2. Students are required to submit a signed copy of their GATE application form with their
registration documents.
3. Students pursuing postgraduate programmes must attach a receipt showing payment
of their portion of tuition fees.
4. GATE funding is not retroactive. If a student fails to complete a GATE application form
upon registration as is required, a claim will not be accepted after the semester has ended.
5. Effective academic year 2017/2018 and beyond, a means test will be used to determine
access to the GATE. The undermentioned measures would be implemented with effect
from the academic year 2018/2019 and beyond:
i. Where the household income falls below $30,000 per month students are required
to pay 50% of their tuition.
ii. Where the household income falls above $30,000 per month students are required
to pay 75% of their tuition.
