PSB Academy Merit Scholarship

PSB Academy is one of Singapore's larger private education institutions and delivers degrees awarded by overseas partner universities — including Australian, UK and other international partners — alongside its own diplomas, across business, engineering, computing, life sciences and allied health. Its merit scholarships and bursaries reduce tuition for international students. Two things need saying plainly. First, the awarding body is the partner university, not PSB Academy, so you should confirm in writing exactly which university awards your degree and how that award is recognised in Sri Lanka or wherever you intend to work. Second, Singapore's post-study work options for private-institution graduates are limited compared with a public university route — employment normally requires a company to sponsor an Employment Pass. Within those limits, PSB is a legitimate, EduTrust-certified route into an internationally-awarded degree at a cost well below studying in the awarding country.

Who awards it

PSB Academy, Singapore — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.

how_to_reg

How you are considered

Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.

payments

What it covers

Partial Tuition Awards on Academic Merit (bursaries also available). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Where we come in

We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

workspace_premium

Academic Merit

Sri Lankan O-Levels or A-Levels for diploma entry; a completed diploma or A-Levels for degree-level entry. Progression routes let diploma holders enter the final year of a partner degree.

Confirm the Awarding University

Ask in writing which university awards the degree, whether it is the same award as studying on that university's home campus, and how the University Grants Commission or your intended employer in Sri Lanka treats it. Do this before paying any deposit.

Understand Post-Study Limits

Graduates of private institutions in Singapore do not receive an automatic post-study work permit; staying to work requires an employer-sponsored Employment Pass. Plan on returning or moving on unless you have a concrete employment route.

English Proficiency

IELTS 5.5-6.5 depending on level and partner university, with waivers where prior study was fully in English. PSB also runs its own English pathway programmes.

account_tree Application Process

Verify the programme and awarding body

Confirm the awarding university, the exact degree title and the recognition position before anything else. This single step prevents the most common and most expensive mistake in private-institution study.

Submit the application

Certified O-Level or A-Level results, or diploma transcripts
Passport copy
English proficiency evidence or Medium of Instruction letter
Financial documentation where applying for a bursary

Scholarship and bursary assessment

Merit awards are assessed on academic results; bursaries additionally consider financial need. Get the award value and its duration stated in the offer letter.

Student's Pass

Apply through ICA's SOLAR system with the offer letter. EduTrust certification also brings fee-protection arrangements — confirm which scheme applies to your fees.

Budget for Singapore

Living costs run roughly SGD 1,200-1,800 a month. Student's Pass holders at private institutions generally may not work during study, so plan the full budget without assuming part-time income.

Why PSB Academy?

PSB Academy traces its origins to Singapore's Productivity and Standards Board and today teaches a large international student body across campuses at Jackson Square and the STEM Wing. It holds EduTrust certification from Singapore's Committee for Private Education and delivers degrees in partnership with overseas universities across business, engineering, computing and life sciences.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
