The Foreign Service Scholarships are for outstanding and driven young Singaporeans who aspire to secure Singapore’s interests on the international stage. As a Foreign Service Scholar, you are given the opportunity to continually grow, develop and broaden your horizons through an overseas education. This helps you develop insights into the world and prepares you for the challenges of the Foreign Service.
There are two types of scholarships:
PSC Scholarship (Foreign Service)
• Administered by the Public Service Commission
Singapore Government Scholarship (Foreign Service)
• Administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Quality Education
The Foreign Service Scholarships support studies in most disciplines at top universities overseas. As we value diversity, we encourage the adventurous seeking an unconventional experience to study in non-English speaking countries such as China, France, Germany and Japan. You may also pursue a Master’s degree.
Enrich Your Experience
Complement your studies with the vast possibilities of doing summer programmes, Study Abroad semesters, or exchange programmes in another country of choice.
Be In The Thick Of Action
Create your own unique experiences when you intern at headquarters in Singapore and our Overseas Missions worldwide. Witness firsthand the challenges involved in trying to achieve consensus at ASEAN meetings, see how International Organisations grapple with issues like climate change, and get a ringside seat to history in the making.
Be Part Of The Family
With a dedicated mentor who works in our Overseas Mission in the same country, you can be sure to get the full support you need throughout your journey as a Foreign Service Scholar. After all, you are part of the family that transcends borders right from the moment you take up the scholarship.
