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