🏆 Scholarships to look into

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or Curtin Singapore's financial aid office.

Singapore's scholarship landscape has an important nuance most students don't expect: several of the largest awards (and the government Tuition Grant that substantially lowers fees) come with a bond — a requirement to work for a Singapore-based company for a fixed number of years after graduating.

  • ASEAN Scholarship / country-specific scholarships: Government or agency-funded, generally for outstanding students from specific countries, usually bonded to Singapore-based employment for several years after graduation.
  • MOE Tuition Grant: Not a scholarship itself, but a government subsidy that substantially reduces tuition for eligible students (see the citizenship/PR fee note above) — international (non-PR) students who take it up are bonded to work for a Singapore-registered company for a set period.
  • University merit scholarships: NUS, NTU and SMU each offer their own merit-based international scholarships, varying in whether they carry a bond — check each one individually.

Always check whether a Singapore scholarship carries a work bond before accepting — it's a genuine multi-year commitment, not a formality.
