Can I get a finance scholarship at NUS, SMU or NTU as an Indian student?

Yes, Singapore universities publish several scholarships that suit Indian finance students, some limited to Indian citizens and others open to all international applicants. Most competitive awards come with academic and service conditions, so read the terms with the same care you give the fee.

Finance scholarships at Singapore universities

What to check before you apply for a Singapore finance award

• Read the bond terms. Some scholarships and the government tuition grant require you to work in Singapore for a set period after graduation.
• Confirm your level. The Goh Keng Swee award is for undergraduate study, while the NTU award is for a master's programme.
• Check whether you must apply separately or are considered automatically with your admission application.
• Look at the official dates page of each university, because scholarship deadlines can fall before or alongside the admission deadline.
• Ask whether the scholarship covers living costs or only tuition.

My Advice

Match the scholarship to your exact degree first, then to your career plan. If you want to work outside Singapore after graduating, a bonded award may not fit. Keep a funding plan that still works with only a partial tuition reduction, since full awards are rare and competitive.
