List of Global Scholarships
Global scholarship programmes vary by area of study, purpose, length, mission, and the amount of funding recipients receive. These scholarships cover a diverse area of interests, which means it is important for you to focus your efforts on the opportunities that make the most sense for you.
Some of these programmes are partly or fully funded by the host institution, while others are not funded. For partly funded or non-funded opportunities, you may apply for additional funding through the Summer Research Programme (Student-Initiated Projects).
A star(*) denotes that Yale-NUS students or alumni have applied for and/or received an award.
