Study Abroad in Singapore

Government Scholarships
The federal government offers two extremely competitive and equally rewarding scholarship programs dedicated to overseas study:

Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships were devised by the federal government’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program awards over 700 scholarships of up to $5,000 each year to outstanding students. Besides academic talent, the next biggest requirement is severe financial need. In fact, you must demonstrate eligibility that would make you a Pell Grant recipient, another government program.

Preference is shown to minority students, those attending community colleges or two-year institutions, and the disabled. The Gilman Scholarships are purposely designed to train more diverse leaders in business and international affairs, and Singapore would be a welcome choice of country for study.

David L. Boren Scholarships

Also from the federal government come the David L. Boren Scholarships. These undergraduate and graduate level programs are designed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and generously support international studies in countries critical to national security, including Singapore. Eligible applicants must be a significant head and shoulders length above most of their peers in terms of achievement and potential, since scholarships are ultra-competitive. Up to $20,000 a year is up for grabs at the graduate level.

Students must be enrolled in programs in Singapore that immerse them in common culture and allow them to become accomplished with the native language – Mandarin – in its vernacular form. The deal closer is the agreement a student must make to offer services, and language expertise, to the Defense Department following graduation. This is an ideal opportunity for students willing to commit their time and professional energy later in return for receiving funds now.

Postgraduate opportunities in Singapore – what’s on offer for 2018?
Much more than a holiday destination, Singapore is a hub for academic excellence in South-East Asia. It boasts top ranked universities, high standards of teaching and learning, world-renowned academics and state-of-the-art research facilities.

Here are a few more reasons why you should consider a Masters in Singapore this year:

Prestigious universities – Two of Singapore’s six publicly-funded universities are among the world’s top 100 higher education institutions.
Funding opportunities – There are several scholarships and tuition fee subsidy options open to international students in Singapore.
English is a language of instruction – Postgraduate courses in Singapore are taught in English which, as the mother tongue of many Singaporeans, is widely used.
Quality of life – Singapore is often named one of the world’s safest countries, and its cleanliness and low crime rates make it a haven for foreign postgraduates.

There are six autonomous universities in Singapore: National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Technology & Design, Singapore Institute of Technology and Singapore University of Social Sciences.

There are five polytechnics in Singapore: Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic.

Institute of Technical Education (ITE): ITEs provide technical-oriented studies in areas like business, electronics, media and applied sciences. Students studying at ITEs develop technical skills and knowledge to work at several industries.
