Singapore Government Scholarship (Singapore Cooperation Programme)

The Singapore Government Scholarship, offered by the Government of Singapore through the Ministry of Education with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Singapore Cooperation Programme, supports outstanding international students undertaking university study in Singapore. It is a fully funded award for students of strong academic ability, character, and leadership potential.

The award is fully funded, covering full tuition fees, a monthly stipend of around 2,200 Singapore dollars, return airfare, a one-time settling-in allowance, housing assistance, and medical benefits, for the duration of the chosen programme. A bond to work in Singapore for a set period after graduation may apply, in keeping with the scholarship’s development aims.

Eligibility is for international students of outstanding academic ability and character with strong co-curricular achievements and leadership potential, who apply to a Singapore university and meet that institution’s admission requirements. You apply for admission to your chosen Singapore university, apply for the government scholarship through the relevant scheme, and submit your transcripts, references, and supporting documents by the deadline, with a bond period potentially applying. For high-achieving international students aiming at Singapore, it is a prestigious, fully funded route to a leading Asian university.
