The Ministry of Education-Autonomous University (MOE-AU) Scholarship is part of the Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent scheme (START) that was established in 2015.

MOE-AU Scholars will be supported in their undergraduate studies with development opportunities and academic mentorship from MOE and their paired AU to introduce them to and prepare them for a career in academia.
