Singapore top students prefer local scholarships: survey
# 06, June 2010
Singapore top students prefer scholarships by local universities, an annual survey by JobsFactory found.According to the survey of close to 3,000 students, the National University of Singapore (NUS) undergraduate scholarship is the most popular scholarship, local TV broadcaster Channel NewsAsia reported on Thursday.
Other than the NUS undergraduate scholarship, two other NUS scholarships - the merit scholarship and the faculty scholarship - take up three places among the top five scholarships of choice for top students.
The Nanyang Scholarship offered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is in 5th place.
The only scholarship within the top five that is not offered by a local university is the FIREfly scholarship in 3rd place, which is offered by government agencies under the Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry.
The broadcaster said local scholarships are popular for two reasons. Firstly, these scholarships usually do not come with a bond, allowing scholars to have the freedom to decide their own career paths and employers upon graduation. Secondly, they are tenable for most courses of study and students appreciate this flexibility.
