Automatic merit consideration
Every eligible applicant is automatically considered for the Test Merit Award on admission — there is no separate form. The award scales with CGPA: 3.5 and above can receive up to 25% of tuition; 3.2–3.49 up to 15%.
Earlier rounds, more capacity
Scholarship capacity is largest in Round 1 and reduces as rounds fill. Applying early maximises both your decision time and your scholarship odds. The Early Commitment Rebate further rewards Round 1 acceptance.
Regional awards
The ASEAN Leaders Grant, Greater China Scholars Award, and India Excellence Award are tied to citizenship. Eligibility reflects the applicant's nationality and the listed programmes.
Financial aid
The Need-based Financial Aid Grant is means-tested and requires supporting financial documentation. Amounts vary with assessed need and are available for the MiM and MBA.
Financial aid eligibility is assessed alongside your application. Country-specific awards never affect visa or jurisdiction processing, which is handled separately.
