The deadline of Feb. 19 for submitting applications to receive Singapore’s “Goh Keng Swee Scholarship” is fast approaching.

The Goh Keng Swee Scholarship is designed to fully support four worthy students from East Asia through undergraduate school, including tuition and other mandatory fees, a stipend for living costs, round-trip airfare, housing and other expenses.

The scholarships are awarded to students from 15 economies ― Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar.

Singaporean universities covered by the scholarship include National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University and Singapore University of Technology and Design.

Singapore’s financial community established the scholarship in honor of former Deputy Prime Minister Goh Keng Swee, who greatly contributed to Singapore’s economic development and growth.
