Fees and Scholarships
Fees & Scholarships
First 4 years:
- Students in a DDP will pay the prevailing tuition fee of the home course.
5th year onwards:
- limited or no Tuition Grant from the Ministry of Education, i.e. fees payable is
two times the prevailing fee.
-
However, in view of the financial implications for students, NUS will offer
scholarships to all DDP students (no application needed) to help offset part of
the tuition fee payable in the fifth year. In other words,
For Engineering DDP, students will only need to pay the prevailing tuition fee
of the home course.
