What happens if I am unable to receive the scholarship? Depending on the test result, a student might be accepted as a regular candidate. What is the content of the test?

The test is conducted in person and lasts about 2-3 hours, with duration varying by campus. Can I apply for a scholarship to more than one SPH school? Yes; you can indicate your first and second choice of SPH campuses in your registration of interest form. However, when it comes to the actual application, you can only apply to one SPH school at a time. Based on test results, the school will inform which campus you have been accepted to.
