    Wow thanks Cherie for the comprehensive guide.
    I probably fk up joining NUS Biz this year as a freshmen. Due to COVID, there weren’t any orientation and the terrible schedule for all the zoom lectures (feels Iike a online Uni 😂)... Guess it’s the worst time to join Uni this year hahaha.

      Kashish Varshney Hi hi awesome question - so for some scholarships you can only apply before (like NUS Global Merit Scholarship, NUS Merit Scholarship), and some where you can apply throughout your 4 years. you may wanna check! generally, there’s multiple awards and bursaries, and for some scholarships (bonded to a company), you can apply any time! hope this helps and definitely apply because there’s many out there (just need to find them)

      Hi hi thanks for writing in and so glad it helped you x Yeah, 5 is a LOT so I only join CCAs I’m super passionate to learn about :) It can be energy draining but sometimes it depends on what you’re looking for in uni! I wanted to learn new skills and make new friends. Engineering is definitely a lotttt more stressful perhaps, and I can recommend perhaps around 3 and having a leadership position to learn too! Hope this helps!
