SCALE Global Graduate Fellowship

The Fellowship is awarded to outstanding international students enrolled full-time in a Postgraduate by Coursework programme at SCALE. Recipients ("Fellows") will receive funding of up to 40% of tuition fees for the first 40 course units, over a maximum of three semesters.

The Fellowship offers Fellows the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the SCALE community. Selected not only for their academic and professional achievements, Fellows are also recognised for their potential to inspire others, foster connections, and demonstrate leadership. As student ambassadors and leaders, Fellows play an important role in strengthening programme communities, enhancing the student experience, and supporting outreach and engagement initiatives.

Applicants who wish to be considered for the Fellowship should indicate their interest when applying for a Postgraduate programme via the GDA3 platform. As the number of Fellowships available each year is limited, prospective candidates are encouraged to submit their applications early. Successful applicants will be notified in due course.
