Notes:
- The bursary for part-time diploma students is disbursed on a semester basis.
- Successful applicants must have a PayNow account (link to student’s NRIC) in order to receive the bursary disbursement.
- The bursary is tenable for one academic year (AY) only. Students are required to submit a single application per AY and are strongly encouraged to apply during the first application window.
Successful applicants will not be required to reapply in the second window, and will continue to receive the same bursary amount, provided they remain enrolled in the same part-time diploma course, are liable for the semester fee, and are not under sponsorship. - Students who have missed the bursary application periods, please contact us at 6550 0056 or bursary@nyp.edu.sg.
