As Singapore moves towards a knowledge-based economy and competition for top researchers intensify worldwide, there is an increasing need for high-quality local researchers to  contribute to the R&D efforts at the public research institutes, universities and industry.  

The A*STAR Graduate Academy (A*GA) was set up with this purpose in mind. A*GA offers and awards scholarships to outstanding students and researchers passionate about research. These scholarships aim to nurture and groom talents for an R&D career. 

Our scholarships can be broadly divided into:

2. A*STAR Graduate Scholarship (AGS) 

If you see yourself driving R&D into the next generation for Singapore and look forward to a challenging research career in Science and Engineering, we invite you to apply for the A*STAR scholarships.
