SMU Lee Kong Chian Scholars' Programme
Offered by Singapore Management University
About this scholarship
The SMU Lee Kong Chian Scholars' Programme is one of Singapore Management University's most prestigious undergraduate scholarships. The official SMU page states that the programme is made possible by a gift from the Lee Foundation and offers high-calibre individuals opportunities for holistic, intellectual, and entrepreneurial development. Benefits include a full four-year tuition fee waiver, a one-off notebook or computer grant, annual living allowance, and sponsorship for global opportunities. SMU lists specific benefits including waiver of annual subsidised tuition fees for regular terms for up to four years, a S$16,000 Global Opportunities grant, S$5,000 annual living allowance, and S$1,800 one-time computer allowance upon enrollment. The award is recorded as full funding because it covers tuition plus major allowances, though amount_value is null because benefits are denominated in Singapore dollars. Scholars enrolled in a double degree must pursue specified business-linked degree combinations and demonstrate leadership, communication skills, and strong co-curricular or community-service records.
