National University of Singapore (NUS)
NUS Science & Technology Undergraduate Scholarship
NUS's bonded scholarship for outstanding students from Asian countries entering Computing, Engineering or Science degrees. It is the most generous of the NUS freshman awards for international students, but you commit to six years of work in Singapore afterwards. Every eligible NUS applicant is considered automatically.
Application round
Apply for NUS admission at nus.edu.sg/oam between 16 December 2026 and 17 February 2027 (the AY2027/28 window for international qualifications, including Thai M6). There is no separate scholarship form. Only shortlisted candidates are contacted, for interviews held between January and July; outcomes are sent by mid-July.
The IELTS requirement
The scholarship sets no English test of its own, but NUS admission does. Thai Mathayom 6 applicants must submit an approved English test, and NUS's published minimum for IELTS Academic is 6.5 overall with 6.5 in Reading and Writing (PTE Academic 62 and TOEFL iBT are also accepted; IELTS One Skill Retake is not). Scores are uploaded with the admission application, so have your result before the February closing date.
