The OF subsidy is for 80% of the price of the PC/laptop purchase or $500, whichever is lower i.e if a PC cost $1,800, 80% of the price is $1,440 --> however, student will only be eligible for an OF subsidy of $500. Student may proceed to purchase the PC/laptop, then submit the original receipt together with a letter of approval (which we will be sending to the students) to Customer & Visitor Centre, Student Services dropbox. We will then reimburse the subisdy amount to the student.
Please note that the student will need to submit a GIRO form (forms available at CVC) together with their receipts or submit the GIRO earlier in order for Finance to create vendor ID. Student need only complete part I of the GIRO form (no need to go to the bank for endorsement) and attach a copy of the front page of his bank book (the page with name & account no.).
PC Roadshow at CE - 27 Apr to 29 Apr 10
We will be having a PC roadshow from 27 Apr to 29 Apr 10 at CE. Participating vendors include Lenovo, Acer, Fujitsu, Apple. They will also be bringing along their netbooks for sale to staff & students. For PC/laptops/netbooks purchased at the roadshow, students who have already been approved the OF subsidy, do not need to pay the full amount for the PC. He will only need to pay his share i.e if the laptop costs $1,200, he will only need to pay the vendor $700 upon deliver. The vendor will bill ITE the balance of $500.
