FAQs for Nanyang Scholarship
Q.Do I need to submit a separate scholarship application form for the Nanyang Scholarship?
No, the scholarship application is integrated with the university admission application. You will access the scholarship form through a link provided at the end of your online admission application after you have received your NTU application number. You are required to complete a personal essay and arrange for a teacher's appraisal as part of this process.
Q.Is there a bond attached to the Nanyang Scholarship after graduation?
There is no bond specifically attached to the Nanyang Scholarship itself. However, for all Singapore Permanent Residents and international students who benefit from the Ministry of Education (MOE) Tuition Grant Scheme (which the scholarship covers), a three-year bond is applicable, requiring them to work in Singapore-registered companies for three years after graduation.
Q.What are the minimum academic requirements to be eligible for the Nanyang Scholarship?
While there is no explicit minimum percentage or GPA stated for the initial application, candidates are expected to possess 'outstanding academic achievements' in their pre-university qualifications (e.g., GCE 'A' level, IB Diploma, Year 12 equivalent). For scholarship renewal in subsequent years, a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.5 out of 5.0 must be maintained.
Q.Can I hold other scholarships or financial aid concurrently with the Nanyang Scholarship?
No, scholarship holders must not, without the prior approval of the University, concurrently hold any other scholarships, bursaries, university loans, or awards.
