What is the scholarship selection process like?

i'm not exactly sure which of that it is.. i was told the ministry of health scholarship has to be applied through the psc gateway.

[unsure]I think all the applications that go through psc gateway will be considered for shortlisting to the PSC psycho and panel interviews. hm even if you're going for the healthcare scholarships you'll most likely be put through the psychological and panel interview anyway if PSC thinks you're good enough for them.

if PSC thinks you're not good enough for PSC scholarships, they won't give you the psycho and panel interviews and will forward you to the respective ministries. ultimately to get the healthcare scholarships you'll be forwarded by PSC to a scholarship interview conducted by the scholarship provider (MOH?). But I'm not very sure.[/unsure]

hi, have a couple of questions, so i'll be really grateful if you could help.

i just got shortlisted for the nus scholarship (faculty level i think) and i was told in the email that it's 1.5-2 hrs interview. may i know what i have to expect? (like would i need to write any essay, what are the questions they usually ask, would i be given a situational problem and have to come up with a solution within a limited period etc.)

and from what i've gathered, it's only 1 round of interview with 2 profs is it?

[Question]

Don't mind if i revive this dead thread but i would like to ask: what goes on during first interviews for scholarships, how long would it be and what they would ask?

[Haecceity]

Depends on the scholarship provider - do you have any specific one in mind? I would recommend that you read the specific thread for that scholarship in one of the other sub-forums.

Generally, be prepared with the favourite interview questions: what motivates you, what are your strengths and weaknesses, why did you choose this scholarship? etc.
