Singapore, Singapore
Singapore's university for social sciences and lifelong/flexible learning, with a strong part-time study option.
SUSS was established to serve both school-leavers and working adults, with flexible, modular study options that let students complete degrees part-time alongside employment — a structure Singapore's more traditional universities don't offer. It's particularly known for Social Work, Human Resource Management and Early Childhood Education.

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 SUSS'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.
