| Gifts which make an impact across the entire University: |
| • |
An Unrestricted Gift allows the University, or Faculty, the greatest flexibility to direct funds where
they are needed most urgently, and allows NUS to take advantage of strategic opportunities to
advance education and research. |
| • |
Gifts restricted to Student Support fulfil the dreams of every NUS student through: |
| |
| – |
Bursaries for students in financial need. |
| – |
Student exchange programmes that take education into the field and overseas. |
| – |
A range of scholarships and awards at every level to recognise and enable the highest achievements in learning. |
|
| • |
Gifts restricted to Academic Support enable NUS to recruit and retain the finest professors and
fellows from around the globe. |
| • |
Gifts to support Research fund promising early stage research as well as provide seed funding for
new faculty members at NUS. (Grants from government agencies and sponsored research that are

| • |

help keep students and staff at the cutting edge of innovation and discovery. |

ENDOWED VS. EXPENDABLE GIFTS
All gifts made to the University are investments in NUS' future. |
| • |
Endowed gifts have a long-term impact on the future of the University. NUS will preserve the principal
amount and invest it to earn returns that will support the gift purpose. |
| • |
Expendable gifts have an immediate impact. The entire amount will be spent on the intended gift purpose
and will eventually be exhausted. |
All eligible gifts attract a government matching grant towards the University's endowment fund. |
