Is self-funding my studies in Singapore feasible or are there funding options available for a Master's?
Yes, self-funding your master's studies in Singapore is feasible if you have enough personal savings to cover tuition and living expenses, which can be significant. However, most students combine self-funding with other options to manage costs more easily.
Common funding options include:
- Education loans from Indian or Singaporean banks, often covering tuition and living expenses.
- Scholarships offered by universities and the Singapore government, which may cover part or all of your costs.
- Part-time work opportunities for international students (with restrictions), which can help with living expenses.
- Employer sponsorship if you are currently working.
Combining savings, loans, and scholarships is a practical approach. For guidance on funding options that fit your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
