  • When submitting your online application, you must indicate the university and courses that you have applied for. If you are successful in receiving the scholarship, you must provide documents on your placement in the university.

Value of award

The scholarship will cover:

  • Full tuition fees and approved academic charges.
  • Allowance for living expenses, hostel and overseas exchange.

Bond period

The bond period you must serve with your sponsoring organisation, depends on the university you are graduating from:
  • 4 years, if you are going to graduate from NTU, NUS, SMU, SUSS or SUTD.
  • 3 years, if you are going to graduate from SIT.
Note:
  • The terms and coverage are the same across all sponsoring organisations.
  • SgIS scholars may seek approval from their sponsoring organisations to pursue a Master's degree. Approval is subjected to the needs of the sponsoring organisation, and the bond period may increase proportionately should the sponsoring organisation provide sponsorship for it.
