Considering studying in Singapore and curious about full scholarship opportunities for international students. Has anyone been through this process or know of universities that offer such awards? I'd appreciate any shared experiences or advice.
Certainly, many universities in Singapore do offer full scholarships for international students. I'll provide some examples below:
1. The Singapore Management University (SMU) offers the ASEAN Undergraduate Scholarship which covers full tuition fees, among other things, for students from the member states of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
2. At the National University of Singapore (NUS), international students can apply for the Science & Technology Undergraduate Scholarship which covers not only tuition fees but also provides a monthly stipend for living expenses.
3. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) provides the Nanyang Scholarship that covers tuition fees, offers a living allowance, and also covers accommodation and book allowances.
As for the application process, each university has its own procedure, so make sure to check out their official websites for each scholarship. Typically, you'll need to submit your academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, and sometimes, an essay.
However, do bear in mind, these scholarships tend to be very competitive, and you'll have to demonstrate strong academic performance and involvement in extra-curricular activities, leadership roles or exceptional talents in specific fields. Additionally, most scholarships are bonded, meaning that upon graduation, you would be expected to work in Singapore for a certain number of years.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your applications.
