Are there any scholarships available for master's programs in Singapore, especially for AI and Machine Learning?

Yes, funding exists for an AI or Machine Learning masters in Singapore, but you need to know upfront that most of the strongest scholarships are reserved for Singapore citizens and permanent residents. As an international student, your realistic path runs through university fee rebates and partial institutional awards rather than a fully funded ride.

Main Funding Routes by Eligibility

Where This Leaves You as an International Applicant

If you are applying from outside Singapore, you should look closely at NUS programs like the Master of Computing with an AI specialisation or MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation, and NTU programs such as the MSc in Artificial Intelligence or MSc in Enterprise AI, since these sometimes carry automatic tuition rebates for eligible tech coursework students. Fully funded external awards for international coursework masters in AI are genuinely rare here, since most full rides like A STAR scholarships go to PhD research candidates instead.

My Advice

Do not count on a full scholarship if you are applying as an international student, and instead build a funding plan around university fee rebates, employer or home country sponsorship, and any alumni discount you may qualify for. Reach out directly to the NUS or NTU admissions office for your specific AI or ML program, since rebate eligibility and amounts change by intake.
