Rising Scholars Fellowship Programme_SMU

The Rising Scholar Fellowship Programme (RSFP) aims to attract the best and brightest rising young scholars from Singapore and around the world for an exciting opportunity to have a glimpse of our postgraduate experience at the Singapore Management University (SMU).

Located right in the heart of Singapore and Asia, SMU is a globally recognised research intensive institution known for its innovative curriculum and teaching excellence. Helmed by SMU’s College of Graduate Research Studies (CGRS), the RSFP is a short immersion programme that provides participants with unique opportunities to immerse themselves in a rich learning environment featuring engaging workshops and seminars, enlightening tours of our city campus, and an opportunity to also participate in our annual Singapore Rising Scholars Conference where doctoral students present their latest research and explore new research ideas in both disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas.

The RSFP involves engaging participants in a five-day stint on SMU campus and they can expect to interact closely with academics and doctoral students with similar research interests to grow their scholarly network. Participants will spend two weeks back in their home country to produce a two-page Guided Reflection for submission to SMU CGRS and they will be awarded with a Certificate of Participation.
