In 2001, Singapore and ICAO jointly established a Developing Countries Training Programme (DCTP), which is sponsored by the Singapore Government and administered by the ICAO Technical Cooperation Bureau, to provide fellowships for specialized training programmes conducted by the Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA).

It was further extended and expanded in 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016. In 2013, a new Scholarship for Diploma in Civil Aviation Management was introduced.

In response to overwhelming and continued demand, the DCTP was extended and expanded for another three years from 2019 to 2022 and will provide 330 Fellowships and 10 Scholarships. In 2019, SAA has added a new Scholarship for Diploma in Aviation Safety Management. A total of 110 Fellowships and 6 Scholarships will be available in 2020/2021 and we welcome applications from government officials of developing ICAO Member States.

Terms of Fellowships and Application Procedures

The Government of Singapore will bear the training fees, daily allowance of sixty Singapore Dollars (S$60) and hotel accommodation for participants accepted for the programmes. Complimentary breakfast will be provided at the hotel and lunch at SAA during training days.
