I just got my A level results and am thinking about getting a scholarship (backup if I dont get FA). Alright, I know next to nothing about Singaporean scholarships, since I wasn’t planning on them at all, and only started looking into them at the encouragement of my teachers.

1) Would it be possible to accept the scholarship, then reject it when I receive the FA I sought?

2) Would having 1 S-paper (at Merit) be a huge disadvantage when getting a scholarship? My other results are AAAA (Math, Phy, Geog, Art), Gp A1, Chinese C6, S paper: Geog, Merit.

3) Anyone can recommend any good scholarships to look out for? What should I look out for when I research scholarships? I am currently tending towards private scholarships. A clear advancement path and career opportunities after I graduate is important. Payment for overseas attachments during the course of study is important to.

4) I am currently serving my first year of NS(10 more days to POP). With this in mind, does anyone have any advise regarding when I should apply for NUS and my scholarships? Does anyone have specific dates regarding the application deadlines?

5) It is possible to hold my acceptance in NUS while I apply for US unis at the end of this year? Will the US unis mind?

6) I want to double degree psychology and economics. Is this possible in NUS? How are these two departments in NUS?

7) Any one has recommendations on good US universities for economics which also offer good FA for intls?

All help, any help is much appreciated. =D
