The scholarship is intended for applicants with a strong academic background who are seeking admission to a research degree at NTU. Reference postings indicate that candidates are generally expected to have an excellent academic record, relevant disciplinary preparation, and, where prior education was not in English, valid English-language test results such as TOEFL or IELTS. Some projects may also ask for additional tests such as the GRE or for prior research experience and technical skills relevant to the project.
The host institution is NTU in Singapore, and the scholarship is tied to doctoral research undertaken there.
