  Singapore International Pre-Graduate Award (SIPGA)
 
To support and complement the Singapore International Graduate Award (SINGA), A*STAR is introducing a new award known as the Singapore International Pre-Graduate Award (SIPGA) for international students. SIPGA is designed to provide short-term research attachments of 2 to 6 months duration to top overseas students at A*STAR.

Purpose
Launched in October 2007, SINGA is a PhD partnership programme with NUS and NTU. Its aim is to increase the pool of top international PhD talent at A*STAR and to add diversity and vibrancy to our scientific talent base.

The SIPGA award complements SINGA, which provides short-term research attachments to international students who are keen to experience the scientific environment in A*STAR Research Institutes. Through SIPGA, we hope to enthuse and excite these young students to see Singapore as a world-class international research hub and to encourage them to consider pursuing their PhD at A*STAR through the SINGA programme.

Eligibility
SIPGA is open to candidates in science and engineering related disciplines who are:-
  • Undergraduate students in their third and fourth year or
  • Master students

Stipend
  • Monthly allowance of S$1,500 (up to a maximum of 6 months)

Note: Airfare, accommodation and other additional allowance will not be provided.

Terms and Conditions
  • Research attachment period may vary from 2 to 6 months.
  • Awardees will be expected to participate in occasional activities organized by A*GA
  • At the end of the programme, awardees are to submit a 2-page report to A*GA’s SINGA Office on their research experience in A*STAR.
