Overview
The MAS Undergraduate and the MAS Mid-Term Undergraduate Scholarship is a prestigious award that gives the most outstanding individuals the opportunity to pursue their dreams at the world's best universities. And promises them a career dedicated to solving some of Singapore's most challenging problems. Embark on a rewarding career with a unique, influential organisation at the forefront of the ever-changing financial landscape, and shape the financial markets of tomorrow. All with one prestigious award.
Details
The scholarship is tenable for 4 years of study in any discipline (except for Medicine, Dentistry and Architecture) at any reputable university, in Singapore or overseas. Language courses are supported if they earn credits that count towards the final degree.
We strongly believe that you should make the most of your 4 years in university to gain a myriad of experiences that will prepare you well for the working world. The scholarship comes with an 8-week internship with MAS where you will be assigned a project in a specific department which will enable you to feel the pulse of the organisation.
We are also supportive of our scholars who bring their explorations beyond textbooks and their universities. From spending a term abroad and immersing in another culture, to interning with private sector organisations to gain exposure to the dynamic world of finance – we encourage our scholars to broaden their horizons.
We may sponsor you for postgraduate studies after your undergraduate degree. The decision depends on a combination of factors such as your academic results, chosen field for further studies and your academic inclinations.
Upon completing your undergraduate studies, you will be placed in one functional area within MAS, where you will receive comprehensive training and build greater depth of knowledge and skills. There will be opportunities for you to explore the different functions in MAS to provide you with a well-rounded career in MAS.
If you wish to be considered in the provisional selection exercise, you should submit your application in September. You can submit your application using your preliminary examination results. You do not need to secure a place before applying for the scholarship, but you should indicate your choice of universities and courses in the application.
Scholarship offers made at the end of the provisional exercise will be conditional upon candidates’ meeting our academic requirements in the final examinations. You may be considered in the main exercise (in March) if you are not shortlisted in the provisional exercise.
