      May I know whether when the uni offered you the scholarship, it does not mean it offers the degree programme you have indicated as your first choice on application?

            It didn't state the course when they offer him the Merit Scholarship. It only said if they are shortlisted for the Global Merit Scholarship, they will get another email inviting them for an interview.

            If don't hear from them, then he will just receive the Merit Scholarship.

            Anyway, my DS just received another confirmation that he has been offered the E-Scholar Engineering course.

            But will this scholarship replace the Merit Scholarship since this is a 4-year+ course leading to a Master degree while the Merit Scholarship only covers 3 years of undergraduate studies?

                  Attended NUS’ "Conversation with the Dean" yesterday on Engineering at Tangs Marriot Hotel.


                  The most discussed was the new E-Scholar Engineering Programme, it’s flagship 4-year engineering programme that comprises an accelerated 3-year Bachelor Degree plus 1-year Master Degree.

                  This replaces it’s previous double-degree Global Engineering Programme.

                  Singapore students who are offered the course will be offered a scholarship automatically and the scholarship is equivalent to NUS’ most prestigious Global Merit Scholarship.

                  Students who are called up for interview must have stellar academic results. Critically they must pass the interview as well.

                  The E-Scholar programme only takes in about 60 undergraduates each year and will be given close mentor support specially chosen by the Dean.

                  They will be the choice to stay in their newest Residential Collage RC-4 or the USP.

                      Is your DS offered a place.? Any string attached if the scholarship is accepted?

                        Yes. He has been offered a place in E-Scholars Sxholars.

                        The scholarship is bond free and covers 4 years up to their Masters degree.

                        But the scholarship is only given to Singaporeans.
