Education Scholarships in Singapore

Studying in Singapore is not considered financially difficult as fees for higher education in the country is low. The government heavily subsidies a substantial portion of the full tuition fees in general. This is done in the form of tuition grants.

Foreign students who wish to receive the tuition grant are required to sign a Tuition Grant Agreement with the government. As a foreign student, you gain more as for international students the subsidized fees are 10 per cent more than what a Singaporean student would pay. In return, tuition grant recipients are bonded to work in Singapore-registered companies for three years upon graduation.

Singapore's employment pass and visa schemes facilitate the entry of foreign talent to Singapore.
