| Terms and conditions
|
- The scholarship covers tuition fees and provides
an annual living allowance of S$4,300. The scholarship is
tenable for the minimum period of candidature for the respective
undergraduate courses at NUS.
- The scholarship does not carry a bond. However,
tuition fees at NUS have been subsidised by the Singapore
Ministry of Education (MOE) through the MOE Tution Grant
Subsidy. The MOE Tuition Grant Subsidy is not covered under
the scholarship scheme. The MOE Tuition Grant Subsidy carries
a bond for students who are not Singapore citizens. All
Singapore permanent residents and international students
taking up the MOE Tuition Grant Subsidy are required to
work with a Singapore-registered company of their choice
for three years upon graduation. Due to the higher fees
and subsidies for the Dental and Medical courses, students
in these courses are obliged to work for a longer bond period
of five and six years respectively.
- The scholarship is open to students from all
faculties. However, candidates should note that due to the
highly competitive nature of courses like Medicine, Dentistry
and Law, there are limited scholarships for students who
wish to pursue these courses.
- Recipients of the scholarship may not concurrently
hold any other scholarship, fellowship, grant or award without
prior approval from the University.
- The University does not provide any assistance
towards travel or other costs nor does it guarantee employment
for the scholar upon graduation.
- The scholarship covers the entire duration of
undergraduate studies on condition that scholars maintain
a minimum CAP (Cumulative Average Point) of 3.5. The academic
performance is monitored on a semester basis.
- If the scholar decides to terminate the scholarship
prematurely, the university reserves the right to impose
a repayment on a case-by-case basis.

| Application and
shortlisting Procedure |

automatically through their application for admission.
