The A STAR 2024 Graduate Scholarship in Singapore is currently open for applications. Upon finishing their PhD or EngD programs, international students who receive the Agency for Science, Technology and Research's (ASTAR) A STAR Graduate Scholarship (AGS) are required to commit to three years of employment in Singaporean businesses. Individuals aiming to pursue a PhD or EngD immediately after completing their undergraduate degrees are eligible to seek this fully funded scholarship.
The grant covers up to four years of PhD or EngD study at Singapore's independent institutions. Those who receive the AGS can seek the A STAR International scholarship for post-doctoral work after finishing their PhD studies. This path presents a great opportunity for international students who aim to pursue Singaporean citizenship through academic and professional advancement. Notably, applicants are not required to hold a Masters degree to be eligible for ASTAR's PhD scholarships.
Non-Singaporean recipients of the A STAR Graduate Scholarship (AGS) must sign a bond committing them to work for three years in Singaporean businesses after completing their studies. These businesses are required to operate in the fields of biomedical sciences, physical sciences, or engineering, but the bond does not specify a particular organization. The goal of this commitment is to place skilled workers in key sectors that align with Singapore's research objectives, retain talent, and advance the nation's scientific and technical progress. Through this arrangement, AGS recipients gain valuable experience in their respective fields while also making contributions to the local workforce.
