The Government Assistance for Tuition Expenses (GATE) Programme provides financial assistance to citizens of Trinidad and Tobago, who are pursuing approved programmes at public and private tertiary level institutions (local and regional).
The GATE Programme is managed by the Funding and Grants Administration Division of the Ministry of Education. The Programme is designed to make tertiary education affordable to all and widen access to tertiary education that will support economic development and promote social equity. A cost-sharing model using means testing is used to determine the amount of funding for which students are eligible. Below are ten (10) things you should know about the GATE Programme (as of 26th October 2021): 1. All applications for GATE funding will include a mandatory means test; failure to complete the means test will disqualify the application from being considered for GATE funding. 2. Where the household income is below $10,000 per month, students will be eligible for 100% GATE funding for tuition fees. 3. Where the household income is above $10,000 per month but less than $30,000 per month, students will be eligible for 75% GATE funding for tuition fees. 4. Where the household income is above $30,000 per month but less than $75,000 per month, students will be eligible for 50% GATE funding for tuition fees. 5. Where the household income is above $75,000 per month, students will be ineligible for GATE funding. 6. Funding under the GATE Programme will be provided for no more than one (1) programme up to the undergraduate level. 7. Students currently enrolled in undergraduate programmes will continue to be funded for the normal duration of the programme. 8. Students enrolled in programmes at regional campuses of the UWI that are offered at the St. Augustine campus, will be provided the equivalent level of funding at the St. Augustine campus. 9. Funding for postgraduate programmes was discontinued with effect from August 2020. 10. Using the GATE eService, students will be able to access the GATE Programme through online submission of applications via www.e-gate.gov.tt/gate-app. We are a small operation.
