Scholarship for Foreigners ?
-
Hello, I'm a Bruneian and i've been always interested in joining the army. But joining Brunei's army is not really what I would want to do since its not a challenging career and there's not much to do as an officer. The thing is I really want to join SAF as an officer, I'm having my A levels now and it would be finish next month. After that i'll probably be scholarship hunting. so i just wonder if SAF gives out scholarship to Bruneians or other nationalities. If anyones knows please post out the necessary steps I should do to end up being in the military.
and, tell me if there's other countries that gives out this sort of scholarship. Thanks

Yes. They would give sponsorship to all those dumb enough to sign on...

u have to show interest in converting to singapore citizenship, and you will have to do it before you actually get to fly off for your studies overseas.

That is absolutely right!

yeah that might work but its a long process. I heard that UK have a lot of other nationalities in their army. They didnt change their nationality at all. They're like mechanaries working in the army.
I didn't say I was planning to study overseas if I end up getting a scholarship, ending up in singapore for studies is not a bad option you know.

I don't think TS will change his nationnality.I remenber that brunei is a very rich country (Brunei's GDP of per capita twice more than singapore's)and citizens not need to pay tax to government.
