scholarships are offered annually to outstanding graduate research scientists at the PhD and Postdoctoral levels to support their full-time research efforts at a Singapore-based university or Research Institute. We also fund medical doctors who are keen on pursuing clinical research.

The SMF scholarships are highly prestigious awards. They are awarded to only the most dynamic and promising postgraduate candidates to support them in their journey of discovery and achievement. We expect our scholars' proposed research projects to have a high potential of impact on R&D in their respective fields, and that their lifelong careers will be marked by significant contributions to research, teaching and/or industrial applications.

To meet the needs of a changing and dynamic environment, the areas of research supported by us are regularly reviewed.The fields of Research currently supported are:
  • Environmental Science, Renewable Resources & Water
  • Engineering
  • Physical & Materials Science
  • Life Sciences

In addtion to the award of the scholarships, to encourage research excellence, the SMF also supports attendance at prestigous conferences for those scholars who have been selected to have their papers presented at these conferences.

Tenure of Award

The awards are tenable at the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University or Research Institutes in Singapore.

Financial Support

The levels of financial support are :

PhD candidate S$4,000 per month for up to 4 years
Postdoctoral candidate S$6,000 per month for up to 2 years
Clinician Scientists S$8,000 per month for up to 2 years


The Award does not provide for any other costs like enrolment or course fees, settling-in allowances or any other expenses, which are to be borne by the awardees themselves from their monthly grants.

A special travel allowance of up to S$2,000 may be provided to assist only international scholars to cover one-way economy air travel to Singapore.This allowance will not apply to those who are already located in Singapore.

Criteria for selection

In our search for the brightest and the best researchers, the folowing criteria are used:

(1) Overall competency of your project.

Your capability and that of your Scientific Advisor/ Supervisor, the technical soundness of your proposed approach, the adequacy of the institutional resources available and the likelihood of success of the new research endeavour is your first step to being selected.

(2) Previous record and potential.

Your potential and dedication to contribute to your field of research is equally important. Your records of college results and accomplishments, particularly publications in peer-reviewed international journals, will demonstrate your competency in research and your capacity to undertake new research endeavours.
