Singapore Scholarship Deadlines 2026: Official Application Status and Dates
Study guideUpdated 04 Aug 2026
Q: Where should I check Singapore scholarship deadlines in 2026?
A: Use the sponsoring organisation's current application page. This guide records confirmed dates only when an official owner has published them and labels completed cycles as closed.
TL;DR
There is no single Singapore scholarship deadline. PSC, ministry, defence, statutory-board, university, MEXT and GKS awards run separate exercises. Never reuse a previous cycle's date without checking the current owner page.
Status: Reviewed 4 August 2026. The 2027 MEXT undergraduate and research Embassy Recommendation cycles in Singapore are closed. The 2026 GKS-U Singapore Embassy Track is also closed. No later Singapore GKS-U notice was found on the checked embassy page.
