Commonly Required Documents

Where and How to Apply

• Government scholarships: apply through scholarship-specific application platforms, such as those run by MOE or SINGA.
• University scholarships: apply through the university application portal after securing admission.
• Private or foundation scholarships: apply through the official foundation portals, often during intake cycles.
• Most processes involve online applications, document submission and an interview or evaluation round.

My Advice

Start collecting recommendation letters and test scores early, because they take the longest. Make a checklist for each scholarship, since the exact documents differ between providers.
