2. University Level Financial Aid Schemes
- Students who require financial assistance should submit an application to the Office of Financial Aid here.
- Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) – RVRC students who are Singapore citizens can also apply to the PSEA Scheme for compulsory College fees (i. e. accommodation and meal plans). Please refer to this webpage.
Important Points to Note
- Full-time undergraduate students should submit the application for NUS financial aid immediately via the Office of Financial Aid (OFA) portal after applying for admission to NUS.
- Upon receipt of the financial aid application, applicants will be automatically considered for all other NUS bursaries, where eligible.
- Students offered a bursary/scholarship by both the OFA/Faculty and RVRC, will be informed if the awards can be held concurrently. Otherwise, the award with the lower quantum will be automatically withdrawn.
- If you missed the application deadline for bursary and college grant but are in need of financial assistance, please login to the NUS Undergraduate Financial Aid Portal, state the reason(s) for your late application and proceed to apply accordingly.
- For general enquiries on university level financial aid, please call 6516 2870 or submit a query to the Office of Admissions.
