Will I need to work in Singapore for three years if I get a scholarship there?
It depends on the scholarship. Some scholarships in Singapore - especially those from the government or certain organizations - require you to work in Singapore for a set period after graduation, often as part of a bond.
- Tuition Grant Scheme: Requires a 3-year work bond with a Singapore entity after graduation.
- Other government or industry scholarships may have longer or different bond periods.
- Many university scholarships for international students do not require a work commitment.
Always review the specific scholarship's terms before applying. If you need help understanding scholarship conditions, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
