Discussion: Singapore Scholarship 2012/2013

[Cheryl_pink]

I'm not from KL. According to the previous years post, most of them hand in the application form personally to the Singapore Embassy. Since it is quite impossible for me to hand in the application form personally, I'm quite unsure where should I send it to.
Should I send all the 4 copies to the Singapore Embassy in KL??
Is it the Singapore High Commission??
Help me please.... I'm confused.

You're right.You have to submit all the four copies of the application form and the supporting documents at the High commission of Singapore at KL.It is located at Level 15 of "The Icon" building.It has been stated that 4 copies of the documents must be sent to the Singapore High Commission
"through the relevant agency responsible in our country ".I'm not quite sure how that works but I think it is better to submit them personally.
The location of the embassy shown in your link is the right one.The full address is

High Commission of the Republic of Singapore
Level 15, West Wing
The Icon, No.1, Jalan 1/68F
Jalan Tun Razak
50400 Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia

Does it means that we do not have to apply for admission to NUS or NTU, and just apply for the scholarship?
Is it same for ASEAN Scholarship too? That we don't have to gain an admission to the university?

If you receive this scholarship, you also automatically gain a place in NUS/NTU without applying entrance at these 2 universities. However, you can also apply for this scholarship and to NUS/NTU separately.

I recommend the second option. First, averagely only 3 ppl from Malaysia get this scholarship per year, so is better in the sense that you can still gain entry even if you failed in this scholarship. Secondly, ASEAN scholarship actually shortlist ppl for the scholarship from the entry application list, so if you apply directly, you might still get ASEAN if you don't get this. Just be consistent with your course choices for all of these 3 application.

Hey everyone! =)
I've got questions.

1.About the application form..the academic and financial awards only have 4 rows but i have 5 things to put in...must i strike one out? or can i squeeze them in?

2.Oh and also...the essay must it be exactly between 300-500words? i've got 502 T.T

3. Do i yank all 4 sets of the application form plus certs etc into one envelope or 4 envelopes?

1.It's better not to squeeze in anything just put the best four among the five.If you have already filled in the four rows and still wanna make a change i suggest you don't strike anything (trust me ,striking a line on the form and re-writing it doesn't look pretty on the form )

2.i posed the same question a while ago and this was the answer given by masterming
"I know a friend who wrote a 3 page essay about his grandmother and manage to get into the interview stage. But I highly recommend you NOT to exceed the 500 words stipulated. I think they put the limit there to avoid reading 10 thousand word essays and to level the playing field. "
So I think an extra two words is not gonna be a problem.

3.I put all the four copies in four different envelopes and chunk them in a bigger envelope.I just wrote "APPLICATION FOR SINGAPORE SCHOLARSHIP" on top left corner of the big envelope but the guy at the embassy asked me write down my name and contact number too.

Thanks dolpin122
well you have plenty of time to submit the forms since the deadline is 26th March but if you have prepared everything and you're satisfied with your essay then why wait?
