LASALLE Scholarship (All Nationalities)

LASALLE College of the Arts is Singapore's leading contemporary arts and design institution, offering diplomas, BA (Hons) degrees validated by Goldsmiths, University of London, and postgraduate programmes across fine art, design, film, animation, fashion, music, dance and arts management. Most of its scholarships are restricted to Singapore citizens or permanent residents, so it matters that three are explicitly open to all nationalities: the LASALLE Scholarship (up to SGD 5,000), the Future Leader Scholarship (SGD 5,000) and the Brother Joseph McNally Memorial Scholarship (up to SGD 5,000). Each covers one academic year and is worth roughly LKR 1.2 million. In the 2026 cycle the application window ran 23 January to 3 May. Awards recognise outstanding academic performance, leadership potential and a demonstrated passion for creativity and innovation, and LASALLE states that scholarships and bursaries it administers are strictly applied to tuition fees for one academic year unless otherwise stated. Be realistic about scale. SGD 5,000 is a meaningful contribution but it will not fund a Singapore arts education on its own; you must still cover the tuition balance, Singapore living costs and your Student's Pass. Miscellaneous fees are explicitly not covered by scholarships or bursaries. The award is also for one year, so it is not a guaranteed multi-year commitment. For a Sri Lankan student building a portfolio-based creative career, though, LASALLE is one of the few Asian institutions with genuine international standing in the arts, and an award like this can be the piece that makes the first year work.

2027 cycle: applications ran 23 January - 3 May 2027. The scheme runs annually on a similar window — confirm current dates on lasalle.edu.sg
