We shortlist our scholars through a comprehensive selection process to ensure the integrity of our scholarship programme. For full scholarship candidates, the selection process involves interviews as well as a unique programme called Blaze Assessment Centre.
Blaze Assessment Centre is a full-day event with individual and team-based activities. Candidates will be assessed on their ability to lead and adapt, and also their communication and analytical thinking skills. Successful candidates will then be shortlisted for the final round of interviews.
During the final round of interviews, candidates will meet with the top management of EDB. Successful candidates will be awarded the EDB-scholarship and join our family of EDB scholars.
For midterm scholarship candidates, the selection process involves a first round face-to-face interview with a scholarship officer. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to return to EDB Headquarters in Singapore to go through a structured internship programme with the Board. The internship programme is for a minimum of eight weeks between May to September. Candidates who are further shortlisted from the completion of the internship programme will be invited to attend the final round of interviews.
