Financial Assistance
Eligible NUS High School students can access bursaries, scholarships, and study awards to ease financial burdens. Apply early through the Parents Gateway app or Singpass for timely processing.
NUS High School supports financially needy students with an array of financial assistance schemes. They include Ministry of Education (MOE) Independent Schools Bursary (ISB), school-based financial assistance, scholarships, study awards, and bursaries from various self-help groups and external organizations. These are available to uplift our needy students so that our students do not face resource constraints in their pursuit of academic excellence in NUS High School.

From 2026 onwards, parents and guardians can apply for financial assistance through the Parents Gateway (PG) app services or by clicking on this link: https://go.gov.sg/moe-efasis (opens in new tab) to apply using the Singpass.
