Q: What does NUS Global Merit Scholarship: 2025 Profile & Strategy cover?
A: Coverage, application pointers, and what to verify with NUS for the Global Merit Scholarship for incoming freshmen.
TL;DR
NUS lists this as its flagship bond-free scholarship for top incoming students, but the public portal is currently shielded (Incapsula) so detailed benefits and CAP rules are not viewable (checked 2025-11-30). Request the latest factsheet from NUS OAM and confirm tuition, allowances, and overseas funding before relying on legacy figures online.
