What does the scholarship cover?

The PSC listing states that the award covers:

  • tuition fees and other compulsory charges;
  • back-payment of tuition fees and compulsory charges incurred before the award; and
  • a maintenance allowance from the point of award.

PSC also lists development opportunities such as a healthcare induction programme, internships with the Ministry of Health, MOH Holdings or public healthcare institutions, networking, and PSC scholar development programmes.

The official page does not publish a universal monthly allowance amount, residency advantage, speciality guarantee, or private-sector salary comparison. Confirm financial and training details in the current award documents.
