An ASEAN Scholar will not be eligible to apply for another scholarship/award).
  • Recipients are encouraged to be actively involved in student life activities, in order to have a good study-life balance and a holistic college experience.

  • Outstanding incoming students, both local and international, are offered scholarships covering tuition fees
  • In addition, there is S$400 of monthly allowance (S$4800 yearly) for up to 5 years. For AY2022/23 cohort onwards the monthly allowance has been revised to S$500 (S$6000 yearly).
  • The prevailing subsidised tuition fee rate for Singapore Citizens for the regular semesters are covered
  • This coverage of tuition fees extend solely to the undergraduate programmes only. 
  • Should the scholarship holder be enrolled in any double degree or concurrent degree programmes, he/she shall have to bear the additional difference in tuition and miscellaneous fees incurred for enrolment in these programmes. 
  • A S$2000 start-up allowance will be given for the first year only, valuing the scholarship up to S$80,250 over 5 years. This rate is standard across all categories of students, so students coming in on international tuition fee rates will have to top up the additional amount on their own.
  • The scholarship will cover the subsidised portion of the tuition fees payable by the students. These fees are highly subsidised and the subsidy comes in the form of a tuition grant. Hence, recipients of the scholarship will still have to take up the tuition grant from the Ministry of Education (MOE). Scholarship holders will still need to secure the MOE Tuition Grant on their own, just like all students without this scholarship. Any required application for this generous Singapore Government subsidy will be included in the admission package.
  • The disbursement for the scholarship allowance each year will be processed only when the final results of each semester are released.
