Government Bursaries
· The type of government bursary that you will be awarded will depend on whether you have met the corresponding income eligibility of the bursary award. You therefore need only to make one application for the different government bursaries – HECB, HEB or DFP Bursary.
· As the majority of full-time subsidised students are eligible for government bursaries, you are highly encouraged to apply for government bursary early in March/April so that your application can be approved in time for settlement of fees as well as be considered for selection for additional *top up bursary (private-funded). The selection of candidates for the additional top up bursary (private-funded) may be based on eligibility criteria such as nationality, course of study, financial need, academic performance and conduct.
*Top up bursaries (private-funded) include bursaries, awards and grants and the quantum range from $500 to $6,000.
Private Funded Bursaries, Awards & Grants
· With generous donations from industry partners, charitable organisations and philanthropic individuals, NYP is able to provide financial assistance to needy students in the form of bursaries, awards & grants. Click here to view our donors list.
· For Singaporean full-time subsidised students, if you apply for bursary in application period 3 (ie Sep/Oct), you may be considered by NYP for private funded bursaries of equivalent value to the government bursary, if you meet the donor’s requirements such as nationality, course of study, financial need and academic performance and conduct. If you are awarded with a private funded bursary, you will not receive another government bursary in the same academic year.
· For Singapore Permanent Residents students, you are encouraged to apply for private donor bursaries in application period 3 (ie Sep/Oct).
Note:
1. Bursary award is tenable for one academic year only. Students will have to submit a new application if they wish to be considered for the bursary again in the subsequent academic year.
2. Students who have missed the bursary application periods, please contact us at 6550 0056 or bursary@nyp.edu.sg
