Embark on an exciting academic journey with the A STAR Graduate Scholarship (AGS), designed to fully fund up to four years of your PhD or EngD studies at prestigious autonomous universities in Singapore. This scholarship not only provides financial support but also immerses you in industry-driven and user-centric R&D projects. Additionally, the program offers the chance to engage in an overseas attachment for up to one year, enhancing your global research exposure.
Upon completion of your doctoral studies under AGS, you will have the opportunity to apply for the A STAR International Fellowship (AIF). This fellowship allows you to pursue post-doctoral training at leading global universities or research institutions, further honing your expertise and expanding your professional network. The A STAR Graduate Academy is committed to cultivating a diverse and innovative research community. We encourage scholars from all backgrounds to contribute their unique perspectives and skills to address the dynamic challenges in science and research.
To support your academic and research aspirations, the AGS covers full tuition, a monthly sustenance allowance, and other benefits such as allowances for books, computers, conferences, and thesis preparation. Additionally, there is support for a 12-month overseas attachment. For those who join mid-term, the scholarship will retroactively cover all tuition and compulsory fees from the first year of study. Eligibility extends to both Singaporeans and international students with excellent academic records and a strong interest in research careers. The application process includes two rounds of interviews for shortlisted candidates, with the application cycle opening on June 1 and closing on August 1, 2024.
