Provider
The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), founded in 2009 in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, funds international and local students for undergraduate, master's and PhD study in engineering, architecture, design and computing. Awards cover full tuition plus a monthly stipend that varies by scheme and residency: the SUTD President Graduate Scholarship pays international students S$3,000 per month, while the SUTD Scholarship pays international students from S$2,000 rising to S$2,500 after the qualifying exam. Scholarship duration follows the degree length, reported in the source as 4 years for a bachelor's, 2 years for a master's and 4 years for a PhD. There is one electronic application form, and duplicate submissions are not processed. Because these stipend bands and durations come from an older cycle, applicants must confirm the current-cycle amounts, eligibility and deadlines on the official SUTD admissions page before applying.
