A: NUS and NTU publish different schedules. For the other autonomous universities, use the current university portal rather than a typical-month estimate.
Last reviewed: 17 July 2026. Exact dates are shown only where the current official page was verified in this pass.
Verified current dates
| University | Current published application information |
| NUS | Apply by 15 April for earlier results and disbursement before the tuition-fee deadline. NUS says applications and appeals are accepted throughout the academic year until the end of Semester 2 before Reading Week. |
| NTU | 15 April to 31 July 2026 for AY2026/27 bursaries. One application covers government and NTU-administered bursaries. |
| SMU | Check the current SMU financial aid page. This audit did not verify one universal AY2026/27 date across all SMU aid. |
| SUTD | Check the current SUTD financial assistance page. |
| SIT | Check the current SIT financial assistance page. |
| SUSS | Check the current SUSS bursaries page. |
Older versions of this guide filled missing dates with prior-year patterns. Those estimates have been removed because they could cause a student to miss the actual window.
