As part of our continuing efforts to expand equalised access to quality education at all levels - from early childhood through to tertiary education, the Quantedge - Cambridge Masters Scholarship (Singapore) was established to fund academically deserving Singaporean students from less privileged backgrounds for an MPhil at the University of Cambridge.
Through meaningful overseas exposure, the Scholarship hopes to nurture globally-minded, cross-culturally competent leaders who can navigate and shape an increasingly inter-connected and complex world. It supports a full-time, one-year Masters course across a broad range of disciplines, spanning the Arts and Humanities, and the Sciences and Engineering.
The Scholarship is administered by King's College, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge.
Note: This was previously known as the Quantedge – Lee Kuan Yew Masters Scholarship, administered by Fitzwilliam College in honour of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who was himself a former student at Fitzwilliam College.

AY2020/21 MPhil (Economics, Finance) “In 10 years, I definitely hope to be in a position where I have the resources to make the differences I wish to see now. Reflecting on my time in school, I observe that while talent is equally distributed, some lack resources to foster that intellectual curiosity. I want to bridge this gap and promote access to education as an agent for social mobility." |
