Financial Assistance for Short-term Programmes
When participating in this experience, undergraduate students may be eligible for funding support through ONE of the sources – the Scholarship for Short-Term Study Abroad Programmes or the Short-Term Abroad Allowance. Whether you are applicable for the Scholarship or Allowance will be determined by your CGPA. Should you be under financial need, need-based government sponsorship may also be applicable.

3. Other requirements and application
Other requirements
- Currently an undergraduate student
- Completion of the designated short-term programme
- Submission of a programme report by the designated deadline
- Response to an evaluation questionnaire by the designated deadline
- For merit-based funding provided by Registry offices in support of study abroad, each student is only eligible to receive a value that equals the largest award. Should the student receive more than one award, he/she may be required to return the prior award to the University. This is to ensure that scholarship funds benefit more than a small number of students.
Application
- When applying to participate in a short-term programme, you would be asked to indicate your interest to be considered for funding in your application. You will then be automatically considered for a scholarship. No separate application will be needed.
Please refer to Section 4 of this page for the timeline.
