Speaking on the second day of the Singaporean Researchers Global Summit held at NTU, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing announced a new Social Science Research Council (SSRC) graduate research fellowship targeted at Singaporeans pursuing their PhDs or post-doctorate stints overseas. "This initiative offers a boost to those Singaporeans who have made the move to embark on a research career on their own, and are interested in working with established researchers in Singapore," he said. The fellowship will provide a grant of up to $10,000 for PhD students, and $20,000 for post-doctorate fellows. Applications for the scheme will open next year. Prospective applicants may refer to the NTU, NUS, SMU and SUTD webpages for more information.
