About the Tote Board Arts Grant

GRANT SCHEME

The Tote Board Arts Grant was introduced in 1995 to encourage the development of a vibrant arts culture in schools and promote arts appreciation among students.

 

Each year, the Singapore Totalisator (TOTE) Board will provide an Arts Grant to all Primary & Secondary Schools, Junior Colleges & Centralised Institutes who have opted in for the Grant to subsidise the cost of programmes approved under the National Arts Council-Arts Education Programme (NAC-AEP) scheme. 

 

All programmes approved under NAC-AEP are listed in the NAC-AEP Programme Directory and the Public Arts Programme Directory.
