The Nanyang Scholarship is the flagship undergraduate scholarship of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), one of the top universities in Asia. It recognises students with strong academic results and leadership qualities entering NTU's full-time undergraduate programmes, and is open to students of all nationalities. The scholarship covers tuition fees (payable after the standard MOE Tuition Grant subsidy) and provides an annual living allowance of around S$6,500, a one-time computer allowance, and an overseas exchange/experiential allowance, for the normal duration of the undergraduate degree (typically 4 years). Recipients also join a community of Nanyang Scholars with development opportunities. Applicants are typically shortlisted based on their admission application and may be invited to interviews and selection activities. The key step is to apply for NTU undergraduate admission by the deadline with strong results and evidence of leadership.
