Applicants awaiting admission to their proposed institution may still apply for a scholarship or bursary. However, proof of admission into the institution must be produced at the time of the scheduled interview or upon award of the scholarship or bursary, if successful. Applicants who have already received four years of support from the Council for their undergraduate or postgraduate studies in the arts are not eligible to apply.

Employees of ministries, statutory boards, government-related agencies and academic institutions are also not eligible to apply. These include Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Singapore Chinese Orchestra, The Esplanade Co Ltd and the National Arts Council. Other conditions may apply. Please check with Capability Development Managers before applying.

* Special note on course commencement date and scholarship application timing :All scholarships and bursaries will be awarded in August.
