H2 subjects, including Knowledge and Inquiry (KI), are considered as 2 AUs. H3 subjects are considered as 1 AU. Students with qualifications other than A levels, such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), NUS High School and polytechnic diplomas are also eligible to be considered for PSC scholarships.

H3 subjects are not required for PSC scholarships application. They are designed to allow exceptional students to pursue a subject or area in which they have the interest and aptitude. Therefore, students should pursue H3 subjects according to their passion. Applicants with H3 subjects will not be considered favourably over others, as H3 subjects only serve to provide an indication of the students' interest and aptitude in a particular area.

No, preliminary examination results are not considered as the standards vary across schools.
|

PSC scholarships are awarded based on merit. All applicants will be assessed based on their academic and non-academic achievements, leadership qualities and interest in serving the public, regardless of their education history.

6. |
Yes. If you apply for a SAF or SPF Scholarship before being enlisted for National Service, PSC can still make a provisional scholarship offer, based on the information in your application package. You will need to qualify for Officer Cadet School (OCS) to be considered for the SAF/SPF Scholarship. PSC will look into confirming your provisional scholarship offer later on, when your military reports are available.
|
7. |
Only officer cadets are eligible for the SAF/SPF Scholarships, as successful candidates have to serve a bond with the Singapore Armed Forces or the Singapore Police Force as commissioned officers. You do not need to be in OCS in order to be considered for the PSC Scholarship. However, you must maintain good performance in National Service.
