Infineum Singapore intends to launch the Infineum Singapore-NUS Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Scholarship in conjunction with the Singapore’s Golden Jubilee year (SG50) marking 50 years since the country first gained its independence in 1965. The company has made an upfront payment of $45,000 for the inaugural Infineum Singapore scholarship to students in the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering).

Selection Committee

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE), which had been working with Infineum Singapore to establish this award, will coordinate the award of the Infineum Singapore-NUS Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Scholarship and form the selection committee comprising several academic staff members from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed and selected by the selection committee. The selection committee has the sole discretion in the short-listing and selection of candidates and may not award any scholarship if there are no candidates of sufficient merit.

Selection Criteria

The Department will call for applications and the scholarship will be awarded each year in August.

The Scholarship will only consider Stage 3 and 4 students from the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme, who are Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents only.
