Dear NUS students,

The DUO-Singapore Exchange Fellowship Award by Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs aims to promote student exchanges between NUS and European ASEM members. The Award, based on merit, funds up to three pairs of students exchanges (3 incoming and 3 outgoing) between NUS and its respective partner university in Europe in any academic field. Each student will be awarded 4,000 Euros, which will partially subsidise the cost of airfare, accommodation and living expenses for SEP. Please also note that due to the nature of this award, if any student from a pair of awardees chooses to withdraw or does not complete the exchange programme, both awardees from the pair will automatically be ineligible for the award and their DUO Awards will be retracted.

Applications for AY 2016/2017 are now open!

Criteria

NUS students with the following criteria are eligible to apply:

• Are Singapore or ASEAN citizens
• Have been nominated for SEP to an NUS partner university in a European ASEM member country (Refer here for the list of ASEM member countries which NUS has SEP partnership with)
• Participating in SEP in Sem 1 and/or Sem 2 of AY2016/2017

Application Process

Only hardcopy applications are accepted and should be submitted to IRO no later than Tuesday, 15 March 2016. Late and incomplete applications will not be considered. Please refer to the website for instructions for submitting your applications.

Please note that this deadline applies to ALL students going on exchange in AY 2016/2017.  Hence, students going on exchange in semester 1 and/or semester 2 are to apply now.
