NHB Scholarship: 2026 Profile

Q: What does NHB Scholarship: 2026 Profile cover?
A: Funding, heritage career pathways, and interview prep tips for the National Heritage Board Scholarship.

TL;DR NHB's current scholarship page still states that applications for the 2025 NHB Scholarship are closed and does not show a 2026 application window. The page confirms undergraduate and postgraduate study support, Singaporean-only eligibility, and bond terms by study level and country.

Award Components

NHB has not posted current funding details. Ask for the official factsheet to confirm:

• Tuition/fee coverage and allowances
• Overseas exposure or attachment opportunities
• Post-graduation rotations and mentorship structure

Eligibility Highlights

NHB's current page says all Singaporeans are welcome to apply, applicants awaiting tertiary admission may apply if they can produce proof of admission at the scheduled interview, and current undergraduates may apply for a mid-term scholarship if they have at least one semester of university results and are not in their final year.

Application Roadmap

1. Ask NHB when the next application window will open, because the current page only states that the 2025 scholarship applications are closed.
2. Prepare academic transcripts, portfolio, and referees; tailor your statement once NHB shares the criteria.
3. Confirm assessment/interview formats with NHB when shortlisted.
