Provisions and Rules of the NUS Graduate Scholarship for ASEAN Nationals


Provisions of the Scholarship

A copy of the terms and conditions can be assessed here.

Each scholarship will provide for the following:
  • A monthly stipend of S$1,350;
  • A one-time book allowance of S$500;
  • Visa and Student's Pass Fee;
  • Medical examination fees for Student's Pass application (capped at S$60);
  • Tuition, health insurance, examination fees, sports fee and other approved fees, allowances and expenses at NUS and throughout the period of the award;
  • Cost of economy travel directly from the home country to Singapore on award of the scholarship (capped at S$500); and
  • Cost of economy travel directly from Singapore back to the home country on successful completion of the course of study leading to the award of the degree (capped at S$500).

With effect from AY2013/2014, the scholarship will be awarded for the normal duration of the particular degree (based on full-time load of 20 MCs per semester). A NUS GSA recipient must enrol for sufficient modules (generally, 20 MCs per semester) to be able to complete the degree programme within the normal duration for the programme. Recipient must also maintain a minimum CAP of 3.5, with no grade below "C" for any module/subject for the continuation of the scholarship.

The Board of Graduate Studies may terminate an award if the progress or conduct of the scholar has not been satisfactory

The scholarship may not, without the prior approval of the Senate, be held concurrently with any other award.

There is no bond or obligation for the scholar to be employed by NUS or in Singapore. The scholar is, therefore, expected to complete the designated graduate degree and return to the home country.

No award will be made unless there is a candidate of sufficient merit.

The provisions do not cover any fees, expenses or costs borne by the candidate prior to the award of the NUS GSA (e.g. application fee, fares or expenses to attend any interview for the designated graduate degree).
