About the NTU‑USP Scholarship 2026

Through this programme, scholars develop critical thinking, leadership, global perspectives, and interdisciplinary skills.

NTU automatically considers eligible applicants during the undergraduate admissions process. Shortlisted candidates may be invited for interviews as part of the selection.
