Q: What does Daisy Phay-NYP Foundation Scholarship: 2026 Profile cover?
A: Allowances, eligibility criteria, and leadership expectations for the bond-free Daisy Phay-NYP Foundation Scholarship honouring top O-Level entrants with a community service track record.

TL;DR Daisy Phay-NYP Foundation Scholarship is a bond-free award (S$3,300/year) with leadership and community elements; eligible students are invited between the first and second week of March.

Quick fit map

• This is a bond-free NYP award for strong O-Level entrants with service records: It is not only about grades.
• Look for the March invitation window and prepare service evidence early: The process is invitation-led, so documents should be ready.
• Read the renewal, leadership, and exclusivity points before comparing awards: You need to balance grades, service, and scholarship rules.

Concrete example: if you led a food donation drive, record your role, the number of volunteers, the beneficiaries, and what changed after the project. That gives the interview panel clearer evidence than a broad claim like "I enjoy helping others".
