Q: What does IRAS Merit Undergraduate Scholarship: 2026 Public Finance Pathway cover?
A: IRAS lists this scholarship on its site with a December–March application window and broad eligibility criteria but does not publish funding coverage or bond terms; apply via BrightSparks and request the official package from IRAS.
TL;DR
IRAS lists merit/overseas, mid-term, and real-estate scholarships, notes that applications run December–March, and outlines eligibility (strong A-Level/IB/ poly results, leadership, relevant courses). The public page does not publish funding coverage or bond terms—confirm those directly with IRAS before you apply.
