Bursary Snapshot
- Status: NUS publishes Financial Aid pages that include donated/named bursary listings and application guidance (use these as your starting point).
- Administered by: NUS Financial Aid with various donors/external partners (check each named bursary’s requirements).
- Who It Supports: Undergraduates who meet the bursary’s criteria (e.g., donor intent, course/faculty, community profile, or financial need) — varies by bursary.
- Income / eligibility rules: Refer to NUS’s overview & eligibility guidance, then verify the bursary-specific criteria on the relevant pages.
- Award components: Vary by bursary (tuition support and/or living allowance).
- Application route: Follow NUS’s published application process; some named bursaries may have additional conditions or documentation.
Support Provided & How to Check
- Coverage and renewal rules differ by bursary; check the relevant NUS Financial Aid pages and confirm anything unclear with the aid office.
- Ask whether awards stack with MOE Tuition Grant/other bursaries and if PCI reassessment is needed yearly.
Eligibility & Application Tips
- Start with NUS’s overview & eligibility guidance and application page, then use the donors/named bursary listings to identify relevant awards.
- Confirm target groups (e.g., donor intent, faculty/course criteria) and documents required for each bursary.
- Don’t assume a universal CAP/GPA threshold — requirements vary by bursary; confirm what applies to the one you’re applying for.
- Follow the official application instructions; some named bursaries may require faculty endorsement or additional steps.
