Find NTU Turing AI Scholars Programme (TAISP) application information on the official programme page and its linked scholarship page. Start by checking the underlying degree, then follow NTU’s qualification-specific undergraduate application route.
NTU lists Computer Science, Data Science & AI, and AI & Society as the degrees associated with TAISP. An interest in artificial intelligence, or admission to a different computing-related course, does not automatically establish eligibility for this scholars track.
For the application sequence, use the TAISP Scholarship page: undergraduate admission is applied for before the scholarship application. Check the current instructions for your qualification and intended intake; neither a programme enquiry nor a submitted application guarantees selection.

Practical checks before you act
Choose the degree before the scholars label
The programme page describes a four-year direct-honours scholars track alongside the listed degrees, combining computing foundations, advanced AI learning, mentorship and research. Read those academic commitments first. A short description of a possible AI career is not a substitute for understanding the degree you will study.
Compare the underlying degrees in your own notes: which subjects interest you, which mathematical foundations need attention and what questions remain about the course? If your preferred degree is not named, ask TAISP directly instead of assuming every programme containing “computing” can be combined with it.
Follow admission, scholarship and appraisal as separate steps
The scholarship instructions explain how applicants use their assigned application number and complete the additional form. They specify a personal essay, photograph and teacher appraisal, with qualification-specific directions. Read that full section before asking a referee; your own submission is not the teacher’s completed appraisal.
Make a checklist with one owner for each action: applicant, referee or university. Give the referee the official instructions early and agree a realistic completion time. Track acknowledgement and missing items through the appropriate portal rather than treating a sent request as evidence that every requirement is fulfilled.
Test whether research-style learning appeals to you
Did you know? NTU’s programme description includes both AI study and hands-on research, rather than presenting TAISP merely as a tuition-fee award. It is worth asking what kind of investigation you would enjoy pursuing when the answer is not already known.
For a personal exploration, choose a small data or programming project you understand. Explain its purpose, a baseline approach, how you tested it and one limitation. This is a suggested reflection, not an official portfolio requirement or interview exercise. Honest understanding is more useful than attaching impressive terminology to work you cannot discuss.
Read continuing conditions before accepting support
The scholarship page contains academic, participation and other award conditions. Review those with the actual offer, particularly if you have another source of funding or your study plans may change. The benefits summary alone does not settle all obligations or permissions.
Keep programme selection, degree admission and funding decisions in separate rows in your records. If two letters appear inconsistent, ask NTU to clarify which combination is approved before accepting. This also gives your family a clear basis for planning without treating eligibility as confirmed funding.
What to do next
Open the programme page, confirm a compatible degree and follow the admissions portal for your qualification. Then complete the relevant scholarship instructions and referee process. Bring unresolved compatibility or award questions to the official TAISP enquiry route, using the full degree name and intended intake.
