Bursaries

NUS Business School has a dedicated Development Office which works directly with various foundations, corporations, alumni and donors that award scholarships and bursaries specifically for Business Students. All the awards are bond-free.

Bursaries

The following bursaries are exclusive to students in our BBA programme.

Interested applicants to take note of the following:

  1. In general, current recipients of scholarships cannot concurrently hold a bursary. To seek exemption, please refer to (3) below.
  2. We recognise that deserving students should be duly rewarded. Students can apply and be offered complementary financial packages (i.e. student exchange package, residential housing support) concurrently with scholarships/awards/bursaries. In the spirit of fairness and equity, multiple or duplicate scholarships, awards or bursaries based on identical or similar purpose are not permissible.
  3. Applicants who are current recipients of any award, bursary or scholarship have to check with the scholarship, award or bursary committee / administrators to obtain consent that you can hold another concurrent scholarship, award or bursary.

Applications

Applications are centrally administrated via the Financial Aid and Scholarships Online Application System by the NUS Office of Admissions and follows the University level time-frames. Applications for financial aid are open throughout the academic year. However, do note to apply within the timelines set by the Office of Admissions to meet the various fees payment deadlines.

Current students who miss the deadlines by the University time-frame and need financial aid should still submit their applications for financial aid (Bursaries) via the OAM portal. In such cases, contact the BBA Office – Ms Amizah (amizah.zaini@nus.edu.sg) for follow up.
