Yes, studying in Singapore can be expensive, but scholarships are available for international students.

- Tuition fees at public universities typically range from SGD 17,000 - 55,000/year, depending on the program.
- Living expenses (accommodation, food, transport, personal costs) usually add up to SGD 1,500 - 2,500/month.

Singapore offers several scholarships for international students, including university-specific and government options. Some scholarships cover tuition and provide a living allowance, but many are merit-based and competitive. The Tuition Grant Scheme can reduce tuition fees, though it requires a three-year work commitment in Singapore after graduation.
