Singaporean students studying medicine and dentistry will have a new scholarship available to them.

The Public Service Commission (PSC) and Ministry of Health (MOH) will start awarding scholarships to students who have completed at least one year of studies in local medicine or dentistry programmes at the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University or Duke-NUS Medical School.

These scholarships are open to Singaporeans or Singapore Permanent Residents, and applications will start in September this year.

According to Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong, the scholarships aim to develop doctors and dentists to serve as future leaders in the public healthcare sector.
