may get any choice advice between YLL offer (without scholarship) and MAS scholarship? Thanks a lot !

Depends on the interest of the child. One is science and another is finance. Ask the child what is the motivation for wanting to do medicine? Medicine is a long treacherous route but a very fulfilling one if one does it for the right motivation. Finance puts profitability at the heart of every transaction.

NTU is magnanimous. While awaiting for the Medicine waitlist outcome, they have welcomed my son to take up Biological Sciences & BioBusiness and has offered him a Nanyang Scholarship too. I thanks NTU for their nobility and generosity. It's indeed a great privilege to study at this wonderful university.[/quote]

Hi, Desmond,

Congratulation to you son. For the Nanyang scholarship, did you son apply for it?

BTW, did you son get the Duke-NUS pathway offer?

All the best.

Hi! Susme,

Congratulations!

YLL and MAS (PSC) Scholarships are two different awards given under their conditions for you to pursue a specific course of your preference. Have you gone through the terms and conditions of the offering? Read them carefully.

NUS scholarship is given to freshmen for pursuing medicine at YLLSoM and is bond free.

Whereas MAS scholarship is awarded by Public Service Commission. You will be required to work for MAS for six years if you study overseas and four years if you study locally. You are free to take up any course of study at any reputable university, with the exception of Medicine, Dentistry and Architecture. It is not intended for medicine study.

What is this NUS YLL scholarship that is bond free? YLL LKC offers come with a 5 years Service Agreements for all Singaporeans.

YLL LKC are not scholarships. Extracted from the website -

Medical and dental education is highly subsidised by the Government of Singapore. All students regardless of nationality who are accepted into the medicine/ dental courses in the National University of Singapore/ Nanyang Technological University/ Duke-NUS Medical School, are required to sign the medical/ dental Tuition Grant.

Under the Agreement, medical and dental graduates shall serve in the local public healthcare sector for a period of 5 years after graduation.

First the child has to secure offers at YLL or LKC or Duke medical schools in order to enter into the service agreement, Hope this helps.

You are correct, Scholarship by YLLSoM has a bond attached. Only NUS Global Merit Scholarship and NUS Merit Scholarship offered have no bond attached. Sorry, my mistaken views.

But still small numbers and not because of low income family able to get NUS /NTU

Scholarship to study medicine for free. Anyone knows what scholarship ?

Hi, Desmond,

Congratulation to you son. For the Nanyang scholarship, did you son apply for it?

Hi! fang1221,

Thank you! My son only done the acceptance to study NTU SBS but the Duke-NUS medicine pathway will only be kicked in at a later stage and to be assessed by Duke-NUS.

During the initiate admission application, they are to indicate their interest whether to be considered for a scholarship. If shortlisted, they will go for an interview before being offered. You will be notified of the offering by late May-early June. It coincide pretty close to the course being offered.

NTU-Duke-NUS Medicine Pathway is not a through train degrees pathway. NTU SBS applicants must indicate their interest for Duke-NUS Medicine Pathway during Matriculation Submission. Only shortlisted applicants by Duke-NUS will have to attend an interview. If successful they will then be given a conditional admission offer. They will still be assessed for their academic performances at NTU SBS at every stages to be qualified for an MD programme at Duke-NUS.

NTU SBS and Duke-NUS are independent of each other. The selection of potential applicants for the MD course programme is done by Duke-NUS.

Sorry, my mistaken views.[/quote]I won't call the NUS YLL a scholarship. Rather it is service agreements for all medical and dentistry students enrolled in YLL, LCK and Duke.
