I. SM Scholarship
SM program is a scholarship program proposed by the Singaporean government in the last century, which attracts students from China, covering all stages from junior high school to university, and effectively solves students' financial pressure.
SM 1 is set for junior three students who graduated from national key middle schools; The goal of SM2 is the outstanding students in the science class of Grade Two in China. SM3 is designed for the freshmen of 985,211in China. Scholarship applications need to pass written examination and interview.
Second, full scholarship.
This scholarship involves a large amount of money and is a remarkable experience for students' future study and work. Therefore, in Singapore, only three national universities and five polytechnics are eligible for the prize.
Similarly, only students studying in these eight universities are eligible to apply. The audit requirements are very strict. Registration can only be recommended by the school. In addition to submitting materials, you need a professional interview.
Three. Government appropriation
Of course, for those students whose family situation is not very good, the Singapore government will also issue a large number of grants after the review and inspection, so that students can successfully complete their college studies.
Of course, there are certain requirements for grants. Students' grades should not be too bad, at least there should be no courses that fail. If the grant still cannot cover all the consumption, the State Bank will also provide interest-free living expenses loans.
Fourth, university scholarships.
The University of Singapore and Nanliu University are two popular universities in Singapore, and they are also two large universities. Their postgraduate scholarships are only available for research-oriented masters.
That is, if you choose a master's degree in teaching, you can only apply for grants, but you are not eligible to apply for scholarships. This is a problem that is easily overlooked by everyone.
2. Application process and conditions for studying in Singapore
First, the process of studying in Singapore
1. Inquiry: You can inquire about school information through various channels such as writing letters and surfing the Internet.
2. Submit a written application: write to the school you choose and ask for admission materials such as enrollment brochures, application forms for admission and scholarship applications. Applicants should generally contact the school of their choice 10 months before the start of school, so that the university has enough time to process the application for admission and carefully study all kinds of supporting documents.
3. Fill in the application form: Before filling in the application form, make a copy for practice, and then fill in the formal application form. Read the instructions carefully before filling in, so as not to miss some important contents. Fill in the application form neatly and clearly, and try to answer every question completely.

IELTS score of 6.0 can also be exempted from IELTS requirements through language courses arranged by the college.
2. Conditions for studying in public universities in Singapore: In terms of conditions for studying in public universities in Singapore, international students need to apply for undergraduate courses in public universities in Singapore by taking the A-level exam in Cambridge, Singapore. You can also apply on the basis of students' college entrance examination results. For details, please consult the study abroad consultant.
3. Learning conditions of Singapore Government Polytechnic (Singapore Junior College): Singapore O-level test results. As the English score of Singapore O-level test is lower than D7, students with a total score lower than 18 will have the opportunity to be admitted to five government polytechnics, as will the O-level admission score of Singapore Polytechnic.
4. Conditions for studying in primary and secondary schools in Singapore: Primary and secondary education in Singapore is mainly public. The most important application condition for students to apply for public primary and secondary schools in Singapore is to take the Singapore public primary and secondary school entrance examination, that is, the Singapore AEIS examination, which is the core content of the application conditions for public primary and secondary schools in Singapore.
3. What are the ways to save money by studying in Singapore?
65438+
University websites such as NUS and NTU will have applications with scholarships, and poor families can also apply for grants, on-campus subsidies, tuition fee remission, work-study positions and so on.
However, it should be noted that students from eight public universities in Singapore can enjoy state grants. Students who have enjoyed the bursary must work in Singapore for three years after graduation, otherwise they will be refunded.
2. Improve your English.
Many private schools in Singapore will conduct an English test for students, and decide the length of language courses according to the test results. These language courses are expensive, ranging from several hundred to one thousand Singapore dollars per month. The worse your English is, the more money you spend on language courses.
Friends who want to save money must work hard to improve their English and try to reduce unnecessary expenses on language courses.
3. Part-time or internship
Singapore full-time international students can go out to work or practice after applying for a job at their school and getting approval. You can also apply to be a TA or RA (research assistant) in the college. The salary in the school is generally higher than that outside. However, it should be noted that according to government regulations, the working or internship time per week cannot exceed 16 hours.
International students do not need to apply to the school to work during holidays, and their working hours are not limited. But students in private universities have some problems, because Singapore stipulates that students in private universities are not allowed to work.
But I still want to remind you that studying abroad is still the first 1. Don't put the cart before the horse, because working has delayed your studies!
Step 4 rent a house
There are various rental options in Singapore, from luxury apartments and villas to HDB and ordinary working-class campus dormitories. The price is different and the environment is different. However, if you want to save a little, the assistant thinks HDB or campus dormitory is a good choice.
Most flats also have household appliances and furniture, including air conditioners, wardrobes, writing desks, refrigerators and microwave ovens. And they are often close to restaurants and supermarkets, which is convenient for daily purchase. The dormitory on campus is very convenient, and it is convenient to have classes in groups, eat, discuss and do experiments.
However, what needs to be reminded here is that when renting a house, beware of the second landlord. The so-called second landlord is the person who rents out the house and then sublets it. Most private schools in Singapore are relatively small in scale and do not provide dormitories for students. Therefore, finding a house has become a "top priority" for many international students outside their studies. There are countless cases in which foreign students who have just arrived are cheated because they don't know the situation. Therefore, if you rent a house, you should pay attention to avoid being cheated.
