How to Apply
Submit your NTU undergraduate admission application first. Once you have an application number, complete the scholarship application within the admissions portal or via the dedicated scholarship link. You must write a personal essay of no more than 250 words on a compulsory topic and arrange for one school teacher (not a family member) to complete an online appraisal within about seven to fourteen days. A recent passport-size photo is also required.
Application Timing
The scholarship application window matches the admission application period for your qualification. For many Year 12 and international qualifications the main window runs through early 2027; specific closing dates vary by programme and qualification type. Apply as early as possible. Shortlisted candidates are invited for interviews (typically March–May for some pathways, or within two months of an offer for others).
Verify the exact deadlines and any updates for the 2027 intake on the official NTU ASEAN Undergraduate Scholarship page before you apply.
If you are not sure which scholarships you qualify for, the Eligibility checker compares your nationality, study level, grades and English score with each scholarship's published rules.
Before you commit, the Cost calculator adds up tuition, living costs, insurance and flights for your whole study period, and shows how much a scholarship would still leave you to fund.
