Energy-Industry Scholarship (EIS)
Introduction to Energy-Industry Scholarship
The Energy sector forms the backbone of Singapore’s economy and the daily lives of people living and working in Singapore, supplying electricity that is critical for powering an entire spectrum of activity in homes, schools, businesses, and essential services. With the effects of climate change already at our shores, the Energy sector - which accounts for around 40% of Singapore’s total emissions - will press forward with our transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
If you are looking for something more exciting than a day job in the office, and somewhere where you can put your engineering skills to make a real impact, then the Energy sector is the place to be in.
