As human capital development and R&D-related expenses, tuition fees and associated costs may, in some jurisdictions, be eligible for specific public or collective funding schemes.
The EDHEC-Risk Institute PhD in Finance is one of the approved programmes under the Doctorate Scholarship Programme supported by the Singapore Financial Sector Development Fund (FSDF). Applicants to the programme may be eligible for funding support on a case-by-case basis. Preference will be given to candidates who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents.
