We consider academic results, co-curricular activity (CCA) records, psychometric test results, school reports and National Service reports(if applicable). All shortlisted candidates for PSC scholarships go through an interview with a psychologist and a panel interview with the PSC.

Students with A levels should generally offer at least 10 Academic Units (AUs). General Paper (GP), Project Work (PW), Mother Tongue Language (MTL) at A-level or Higher MTL at O-level, and other H1 subjects are considered as 1 AU. 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.

PSC does not maintain a list of recognised universities. PSC scholarship holders study in a wide range of universities in different countries. We will be happy to discuss your choice of university with you.

The application period is from 13 July to 15 March the following year for undergraduate scholarships, undergraduate (mid-term) scholarships and the PSC Master's Scholarship. We encourage you to submit your application early. By starting on your application form early, you will have more time to prepare and submit your essay and supporting documents. This will also give you an opportunity to seek clarity on your scholarship application at an early stage. 

You may re-apply in a subsequent year stating your new qualifications and/or achievements.
