President's Scholarship

Overview

The President's Scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship in Singapore. Scholarships are awarded annually to students who have demonstrated, beyond academic ability and excellence in co-curricular activities, to be individuals who display a strong ethos of public service, who possess an unwavering dedication to improving the lives of Singaporeans, and who have shown a soundness of character and the potential to lead. Candidates shortlisted for the President’s Scholarship are interviewed by a Selection Committee chaired by Chairman, PSC. Other members of the Selection Committee include PSC Members, as well as representatives from local universities. President’s Scholars represent the cream of the crop and the leaders amongst his or her cohort. To date, we have more than 200 President’s Scholars.

President's Scholarships are generally awarded concurrently with another PSC Scholarship:

i) the SAF Overseas Scholarship,
ii) the SPF Overseas Scholarship, or
iii) the Overseas Merit Scholarship / Local-Overseas Merit Scholarship.
