Q: What does NUS Donated Scholarships: 2026 Profile for Full-Term and Mid-Term Scholars cover?
A: Award values, selection filters, and planning tips for National University of Singapore administered donated scholarships supporting incoming freshmen and outstanding undergraduates.
TL;DR
NUS Donated Scholarships provide donor-funded annual support, often with mentorship or donor engagement, for high-achieving incoming or current undergraduates. Keep your GPA strong, craft discipline-specific statements, and respond quickly when shortlisted to align with each donor's expectations.
Scholarship Snapshot
- Status: Freshmen are auto-considered during admissions; current undergraduates apply via the Applicant Portal during the posted window (last verified 2025-12-01)
- Official Listing: NUS Donated Scholarships
- Who It Supports: Singapore Citizens, PRs, and eligible international students on subsidised tuition with strong academics and leadership records
- Award Tenure: Typically one academic year with possible renewals when donor criteria continue to be met
- Bond: Bond-free, though some donors host compulsory enrichment, networking, or service-learning sessions
Award Components
- Scholarship quantum published per donor listing, applied toward tuition or maintenance expenses
- Potential enrichment provisions (conference grants, overseas exposure top-ups) specified by individual donors
- Access to donor networking, mentorship programmes, and alumni communities
- Recognition at university-level ceremonies and inclusion in NUS Scholars' community initiatives
Eligibility Highlights
- Freshmen assessed on admissions portfolio (A-Level/IB/NUS High) with no separate application; offers released August-September
- Current undergraduates need a strong GPA (faculty benchmarks apply) plus sustained CCA/service participation
- Applicants who reject the MOE Tuition Grant or pay non-subsidised fees are ineligible for NUS-administered scholarships
- Students may apply once per cycle; shortlisting triggers targeted document requests or interviews tied to donor requirements
- Scholars must remain in good standing, continue co-curricular contributions, and accept donor-specific terms (e.g., event attendance)
Application Roadmap
- Freshmen: ensure admissions essays and references highlight leadership and community service; scholarships may be awarded automatically.
