* Only shortlisted fresh applicants will be called for an interview.
* Previous recipients of the ISTF’s financial assistance, who are still pursuing the same course of study, are eligible to reapply for the ISTF’s financial assistance for another one time, by submitting the ISTF application form along with their latest documents and proof of study.
