Scholarships

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must be Business School students (Business Administration or Business Administration (Accountancy)). For double degrees, Business must be the home faculty and Business Administration or Business Administration (Accountancy) the primary degree.

Recipients must maintain a GPA of 3.5 (out of 5.0; “B’ average as per NUS Undergraduate Scholarship guidelines. If a recipient meets continuation requirements but does not complete the BBA programme (e.g. transfers out), the School may impose repayment on a case-by-case basis. Students dropped from the scholarship due to failing continuation requirements will not be required to repay disbursed funds.

Tenure & Benefits

Outstanding incoming students, both local and international, are offered scholarships covering tuition fees.

The scholarship covers subsidised tuition fees for Singapore Citizens and provides a monthly allowance:

• AY2009/10 to AY2021/22 cohorts: S$400/month (S$4,800 yearly)
• AY2022/23 cohort onwards: S$500/month (S$6,000 yearly)
• Duration: Up to 5 years
• First-year start-up allowance: S$2,000
• Total value over 5 years: Up to S$80,250

Coverage applies to undergraduate programmes only. Double or concurrent degree holders must bear additional tuition and miscellaneous fees for those programmes. International students on higher tuition rates must pay the difference.

Application & Disbursement

Interviews are conducted between April and May. Scholarships are offered conditional on successful NUS admission.

Award duration:

• BBA: Up to 3 years
• BBA (Honours): Up to 4 years
• Double-degree (Bachelor + Bachelor) or Concurrent-degree (Bachelor + Master): Up to 5 years

The scholarship does not carry a bond, i.e., there are no strings attached. A number of these scholarships are reserved for outstanding international students who could have gained admission to, or are already in, top universities elsewhere.

The scholarship will cover the subsidised portion of the tuition fees payable by the students. These fees are highly subsidised and the subsidy comes in the form of a tuition grant. Hence, recipients of the scholarship will still have to take up the tuition grant from the Ministry of Education (MOE). Scholarship holders will still need to secure the MOE Tuition Grant on their own, just like all students without this scholarship. Any required application for this generous Singapore Government subsidy will be included in the admission package.

The disbursement for the scholarship allowance each year will be processed only when the final results of each semester are released.
