November 27, 2025

Singapore’s mental health workforce is set to receive a boost with the launch of a new scholarship aimed at training front-line professionals in clinical mental health and psychotherapy.

- Gabrielle Chan

The new scholarship for National University of Singapore (NUS) Medicine’s Master of Clinical Mental Health and Psychotherapy programme will be awarded to up to 24 full-time students over the next three years, starting from 2026.

Recipients will have their tuition fees fully covered, and a monthly stipend of $3,000 for the programme’s 18-month duration, said NUS on Nov 26.

This new scholarship is funded bya $3 million gift from the Elaine and Eduardo Saverin Foundation, established by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and his wife Elaine, to the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine).

The university said this was the largest single scholarship gift the programme has received to date.
