Newly introduced for students admitted to SUTD from 2020 onwards, the SUTD Global Excellence Scholarship is one of our most prestigious scholarships to celebrate talented students who
achieved excellence across multiple aspects beyond stellar academic performance, for example, achievements in sports or the arts, design innovations, active contributions to the community, etc; and
have the attitude, desire and potential to make an impact to society.

The SUTD Global Excellence Scholarship is dedicated to further realising these students’ potential through supporting their personal development, including option for postgraduate studies, global exposure, and more. On top of a fully covered undergraduate education, the scholarship provides a grant to support the tuition fees for students who wish to further their studies, either at SUTD or SMU (for eligible courses^) within three years upon their graduation from SUTD.

Additionally, recipients of this prestigious scholarship will enjoy a generous stipend, as well as sponsorship for a guaranteed choice overseas experience under the Global Leadership Programme (GLP) - a summer programme of at least 8 weeks duration at one of SUTD’s partner institutions overseas - in North America, Europe and Asia. The list of summer programmes offered by partner institutions under GLP can be found here. Finally, recipients of the SUTD Global Excellence Scholarship will also have various opportunities to hone their leadership skills through participation in selected Fifth Row groups such as the University Ambassador Club.
