What is the difference between the PSC Sustainability Scholarships and other scholarship offerings from the PSC?

Both the PSC Scholarship and the PSC Scholarship (Sustainability) bear no restrictions in terms of course of studies, and recipients can be deployed to different Ministries and government agencies.

Recipients on the PSC Sustainability Scholarships (either the PSC Scholarship (Sustainability) or PSC Master's Scholarship (Sustainability) would however, have more targeted development in sustainability and circularity (S&C) domains. Following which, their deployments would be more targeted in these areas. For instance, a first posting for a PSC Scholarship (Sustainability) holder could be in the area of carbon policies at Ministry of Trade and Industry while a first posting for a PSC Scholarship holder could be in the area of trade policy with the same Ministry.

For the PSC Scholarship (Engineering), it differs from the PSC Scholarship and PSC Scholarship (Sustainability) in that it is targeted at students who are keen to develop deep expertise in Science and Technology. Recipients are expected to study in a STEM discipline, e.g. engineering, computer science, IT. They are also matched with an engineering agency at the start of their scholarship journey so that they can be mentored closely to become leaders in the respective technical domains.
