JCU Singapore Future Scholarship
For some people, the financial considerations tied to higher education often play a crucial role in shaping their choices about pursuing the very skills that would pave the way for a successful career.
At James Cook University, Singapore, we believe in equal access to education and have therefore initiated the JCU Singapore Future Scholarship (SFS) to provide free education to Singapore citizens who have achieved success despite their financial setbacks.
A 100% scholarship will be provided to eligible students enrolling in selected programs crucial to shaping Singapore's future development. The technology-focused programs support future leaders committed to developing Singapore’s ambition to become a Smart Nation through the use of advanced technologies and an understanding of the Digital Economy. While the aquaculture-focused programs are in line with Singapore’s "30 by 30" goal, which aims to increase local agri-food production in Singapore to 30% of total food by 2030.
