The A*STAR Graduate Scholarship (AGS) is more than a fully funded bond-free PhD scholarship, it’s a pathway into impactful research, strong mentorship, and long-term career growth within Singapore’s research and innovation ecosystem.
A bond-free scholarship for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, AGS gives you the freedom to focus fully on your research while being embedded in A*STAR’s institutes and Singapore’s autonomous universities. You’ll work alongside leading scientists, access cutting-edge facilities, and contribute to research that addresses real scientific and technological challenges.
With four distinct tracks, AGS allows you to shape your PhD journey around your interests and the future needs of science and technology. Whether you choose a broad STEM foundation or specialise in Computing, Semiconductor, or Quantum technologies, AGS equips you with deep expertise, applied research experience, and global exposure to prepare you for what comes next.
