The scholarship is offered to read an
undergraduate course at NUS, and is tenable for the normal course
duration. Scholarships offered can be transferred across courses,
excluding Dentistry, Law, Medicine and Music. There are limited
scholarships for Dentistry, Law and Medicine due to the high competitive
nature of these courses.
While there is no bond attached to the ASEAN
Undergraduate Scholarship, students are required to take up the MOE
Tuition Grant to receive the scholarship. Singapore Permanent Residents
and international students who take up the MOE Tuition Grant will be
bonded under the terms of the Tuition Grant, to work for a Singapore-registered
company for 3 years immediately upon graduation. Scholars admitted to
Dentistry and Medicine will be required to undertake a service bond with
the Singapore Ministry of Health for 5 and 6 years respectively.
Recipients of the scholarship (scholars) may not
concurrently hold any other scholarship, fellowship, bursary, grant, award
or allowance without prior approval from the University.
The scholarship will be monitored and renewed
every semester provided the scholar maintains a Cumulative Average Point
(CAP) of at least 3.5 (or equivalent) and good conduct.
Scholars are restricted to 1 semester of overseas
programme(s) (including but not restricted to NUS Overseas Colleges and
overseas Student Exchange Programme) for the entire course of their
studies.
Scholars will be required to take part in
community involvement programmes or projects deemed appropriate and/or
directed by the University.
NUS does not guarantee and/or provide scholars
with employment upon graduation.
If the scholar decides to withdraw from the
University and/or terminate the scholarship prematurely, the University
reserves the right to impose repayment of all scholarship monies disbursed
to the scholar.

All applicants for undergraduate admission to NUS
will be considered automatically for the scholarship through their
applications for admission.
Applicants will be assessed on their suitability for
the scholarship, based on the strength of their applications and/or their
performance in the scholarship selection interview(s), if
shortlisted.
Applicants shortlisted for the selection
interview(s) will be informed via e-mail, and will be required to provide
a submission furnishing their co-curricular activity and other
achievements, and a personal statement, before the interview(s). Selection
interviews will be conducted from January to July, and shortlisted
candidates will be informed of the scholarship outcomes by mid-July.
NUS reserves the right not to award any
scholarship if there are no candidates of sufficient merit. The decision
of the selection committee is final. Enquiries or disputes surrounding its
decisions will not be entertained.
