Scholarships are no longer awarded on grades alone. Depending on the scholarship, a certain level of grades will be expected, but I suspect (no actual knowledge) that there will be some flexibility for students who can demonstrate something \"extra\" - interests and abilities in something that may apply to the area of the scholarship/eventual career, or just some, possibly non-academic, personal factor that stands out. Her score is high, so I don't think she will be automatically excluded from any scholarship. H3s are not mandatory for scholarships, though they can be an indicator of ability and interest, and a scholarship is very popular and competitive, they can give an edge.
Hi,
Don't know if this is the right section to ask. Is anyone familiar with the RP score to get a scholarship?
My D2 came home last week with RP88.75. Quite unexpected. Not familiar with this. So we dunno whether she qualifies for a scholarship or not, and for which?
She has no H3.
Anyone knows where to find historical data?
Rather than look for cut-off points for various scholarships (which you will not find, I expect), get her to look for a few where the eventual career interests her. For most scholarships, there will be interviews and, often, psychometric assessments. She will be able to project herself much better if she is interested in the area of study/work, and knows something about it. And it may be to her advantage to apply for something possibly less popular, but in her area of interest. All the best! -
Straits Times used to publish a Scholarship supplement in their hard copy every year in the period after A level results. But i think it is now in e-version online: https://www.scholarschoice.com.sg/
Other than exploring the above, would be good to speak to her JC’s career counsellor or ECG dept, whatever it’s called. Or CT tutor if need be. -

It still comes on with the print ST. I've seen 2 so far this year, the most recent was last week. Not sure how many thery'll be in all. Very thick!

Yes, talking to a teacher or career counsellor would be a good start. -
That’s good to know.
OT: Saturday Straits Times used to be very thick with separate job advertisements section. But recently when I bought it, didnt see much. Maybe the job ads all online nowadays? -

You obviously haven't been reading the print version for a long time! The job ads in the classifieds all but vanished over the years - it's been like that for at least 10 years now (I started looking around then when I decided to venture into the workforce again). I don't bother with the print classifieds now - there's more online, and easier to search.
That’s good to know.

Hey slmkhoo, long time no see. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for advice. She is keen on SMU business -

Thanks zac's mum! -
Still waiting for anyone with info whether RP88.75 qualifies.
Also, if possible, advice on what to write in the Personal Essay, when applying.
Appreciate much.
TIA -
