If you are an Asian who wants to pursue graduate studies in Public Policy or Public Administration, look nowhere else but the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Why? Because even you’d be surprised at the number of full scholarships available for both courses at NUS.

There are three scholarships available for ASEAN, China and India nationals, one exclusively for those from the US or China, one for those from Maldives, and one umbrella scholarship for Singaporeans. In most areas, all of these scholarships are equal.

So, it’s actually pretty easy to detail the scholarships: Value-wise, we’re looking at a monthly stipend of S$1,350 throughout the period of the award (which is generous if you’re single), a S$500 book stipend, a S$500 settling-in allowance, full waiver of tuition, examination and health insurance fees, plus a return airflight (or equivalent).

If a recent news release is correct, each scholarship is worth around US$40,000 each - something you really don’t want to miss out on if you’re interested in the courses offered.
