Work Study Assistance Scheme


The Work Study Assistance Scheme may be offered as a component of the financial aid package to financially needy students to supplement their finances through part-time work.

An applicant opting for the Work-Study Assistance Scheme may seek on/off-campus job opportunities through the NUS TalentConnect website. The website also provides details on the NUS Student Work Scheme (NSWS) which is aimed to encourage NUS students to be self-reliant and to gain some working experience on campus. 

  • Full-time undergraduate student, regardless of nationality
  • A recipient of the financial aid package from NUS

An international applicant must not work more than 16 hours per week during term time.

Applicant’s participation is for one year only. Continued participation depends on the assessed eligibility of the applicant, based on fresh financial aid application each year.

The Office of Financial Aid does not arrange for job placements. Applicants can generate the Work-Study Priority Consideration letter from the Undergraduate Financial Aid Portal certifying the applicant’s eligibility under the Scheme for priority consideration by the prospective employer.

To allow time for adjustment to student life in NUS, first year international students are advised not to take up part-time employment during the first semester of study.
