Needy NUS part-time undergraduate students who are Singapore Citizens (SCs) and pursuing the Bachelor of Technology and Bachelor of Science (Nursing Practice) programmes, can submit ONE Financial Aid Application to NUS in mid-July to be considered for the NUS Financial Aid Package, for the upcoming Academic Year.
