Edusave Character Award (ECHA) and Frontier Character Award (FCA) 2026
The MOE Edusave Character Award (ECHA) and Frontier Character Award (FCA) aim to recognise outstanding Frontierers who demonstrate exemplary character and outstanding personal qualities through their behaviour and actions.
While the ECHA is only meant for students who are Singapore Citizens, the FCA aims to affirm students who are Singapore Citizens and non-Singapore Citizens. These awards will be given to deserving students who demonstrate:
(1) School Values and Personal Qualities
(2) A high level of Civic Responsibility and
(3) Qualities associated with Resilience
There is a rigorous process of nomination and selection of the students by the staff within the school. Parents and students are also encouraged to nominate deserving students for our consideration using the following links, starting from 31 August 2026 (Monday) to 14 September 2026 (Monday):

Enhancements to Edusave Awards for Achievement, Good Leadership & Service (EAGLES)
The Edusave Awards for Achievement, Good Leadership & Service (EAGLES) was introduced in 2001 to recognise students' leadership qualities, excellence in nonacademic activities, and service to community and schools. This yearly award is open to students who are Singapore Citizens.
Since 2024, EAGLES has been enhanced to recognise students with consistent and exemplary demonstration of Emerging 21st Century Competencies (E21CC) in government/government-aided primary and secondary schools, independent schools, specialised independent schools, and junior colleges/Millennia Institute (JC/MI). This is part of the larger goal to prepare our students to thrive in a fast-changing, complex and inter-connected world, by encouraging the development and application of future-ready competencies.
P1- 3 students must satisfy the following set of eligibility criteria before he/she can be awarded EAGLES (E21CC):
• Singapore Citizens who attain a conduct grade of ‘Good’ or better;
• Demonstration of E21CC in a consistent and exemplary manner as observed in school settings and contexts (More details on the list of E21CC can be found in the letter that has been sent via Parents Gateway.)
Similarly to ECHA and FCA, parents and students are encouraged to nominate deserving students for our consideration. You can access the forms from the following links, starting from 31 August 2026 (Monday) to 14 September 2026 (Monday):
