Raffles Singapore Design & Business Merit Scholarship
Raffles College of Higher Education in Singapore is part of the long-running Raffles education network and specialises in design, fashion, and business programmes, typically validated or awarded with overseas university partners and delivered in English. It offers merit-based tuition reductions to talented international students, with design awards usually assessed partly on a creative portfolio alongside academic results. For Sri Lankan students drawn to design, fashion, interior, or creative-business fields, Raffles Singapore offers an industry-focused, English-medium pathway in a safe, well-connected Asian creative hub — at a lower cost than studying in the West. Because the awarding body can be an overseas partner, recognition follows that partner, so confirm the current programme, the degree awarded, the exact award value, accreditation, and deadlines with Raffles before committing.

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Raffles College of Higher Education (Singapore) — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
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.
What it covers
Merit tuition reduction on design and business degrees delivered in Singapore. 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.

International Applicant
Open to international students, including Sri Lankan citizens with recognised qualifications, applying to Raffles Singapore programmes.
Academic Merit & Portfolio
Reductions are merit-based; design programmes typically also weigh a creative portfolio. A strong record and a focused portfolio improve the award.
Admission to a Programme
You must be admitted to a Raffles Singapore design or business programme. Confirm the awarding partner and accreditation before accepting.
English Proficiency
Teaching is in English; typical requirements are around IELTS 6.0. Sri Lankan applicants with an English-medium qualification may qualify for a waiver where Raffles accepts it.

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.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
