Is there a separate scholarship deadline for me, or does my undergraduate admission deadline in Singapore cover it?
Most undergraduate scholarships in Singapore typically do not have a separate deadline. You are usually considered when you apply for admission, so the admission deadline usually works as the scholarship deadline. Research awards such as SINGA follow their own dates, so check each official page.
For most undergraduate scholarships in Singapore, no. You are usually considered when you apply for admission, so your admission deadline typically doubles as your scholarship deadline. Some awards may have their own windows, so check each official page.
How Each University Handles It
| Scholarship | How you apply |
|---|---|
| NUS International Undergraduate and Science and Technology Scholarships | With your NUS admission application; interviews run from January to July, with results by mid-July |
| NTU Nanyang Global and Science and Technology Scholarships | After submitting your NTU admission application, within the same admission cycle |
| SUTD Rainmaker (International) and Design and Engineering Scholarships | At the same time as your SUTD admission application |
| SMU Global Impact Scholarship Award | Through the SMU undergraduate admission portal, usually by mid-March |
Where Separate Dates Apply
- Research awards like SINGA follow their own fixed dates each year.
- NUS and NTU research scholarships are applied for with your graduate admission application, by each programme's deadline.
- Dates can shift, so confirm them on each official page for the 2027 or 2028 intake.
My Advice
Treat your admission deadline as your scholarship deadline and submit early. Read each university's scholarship page so you do not miss a step that comes after your admission application.
