Studying overseas is a big investment for families in Singapore, but scholarships can significantly reduce tuition fees and living costs.
Here’s a quick, practical guide to help Singapore students maximise university scholarships for overseas study.
Types of Scholarships Available
- Merit-Based Scholarships:
Based on A-Level, IB, or Polytechnic GPA. - Faculty-Specific Scholarships:
For courses like Business, Engineering, Health Sciences, and IT. - ASEAN / Singapore Awards:
Region-specific scholarships for Southeast Asian students.
How to Maximise Your Scholarship Chances
Apply Early
Limited quotas. First application rounds = higher success rate.
Strengthen Your Profile
Scholarships consider:
- Academic results
- Strong personal statement
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying close to deadlines
- Using generic personal statements
- Missing separate scholarship forms
- Only targeting “big name” universities
How Much Can You Save?
Singapore students can typically receive either:
- S$5,000–S$15,000 per year
- 25–50% tuition fee scholarships
- Full scholarships (rare but possible)
Over 3–4 years, this could mean S$30,000–S$80,000 in savings.
