At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy offers Filipinos a faster, smarter path to international success in food and entrepreneurship.
In a world where food knows no borders, more and more Filipinos are daring to dream bigger—and bolder. For many of them, that dream starts in Singapore, where a unique opportunity is transforming culinary passions into global careers.
Last weekend, the Dusit Thani Manila became the hub of inspiration for aspiring chefs and food entrepreneurs as At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy brought its Scholarship Brew event to the Philippines. The premier culinary institution from Singapore drew in high school graduates, career shifters, and seasoned F&B professionals—all united by a common goal: to elevate their culinary aspirations to an international stage.
The At-Sunrice Advantage: Learn, Earn, and Rise
“What makes At-Sunrice truly stand out is our unique study-and-work pedagogy,” shared Suman Subbian, Director of Student Recruitment at the academy. “Students gain real-world, hands-on experience while studying, through paid internships with some of Singapore’s best restaurants and food establishments.”
With scholarships covering up to 100% of tuition for the first semester, the academy offers a compelling choice for Filipinos seeking a quality, globally competitive culinary education. Students can earn up to SGD 1,500/month (around ₱62,000) while gaining vital industry experience—a life-changing opportunity that’s already helping many Filipino talents build a better future.
A Smart Pathway for K12 and College Graduates
For K12 graduates in the Philippines, At-Sunrice offers an accelerated path to success:
- Earn two diplomas—in Culinary or Pastry & Bakery + Food Entrepreneurship or Culinary Wellness
- Fast-track to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Business Studies with Entrepreneurship
- Complete the full program in just 2.5 years—far shorter than traditional 4-year courses
- Gain financial independence through paid internships while building global experience
College graduates or diploma holders in business, marketing, hospitality, or related fields can also benefit. With the 1-year Top-Up Degree, they can immediately begin working while studying and earn SGD 1,600–2,000/month (₱66,000–₱83,000)—blending business education with practical culinary knowledge.
Real Stories, Real Success
The event featured inspiring alumni stories, such as Chef Nikki and Aaron Lau, who met during their time at At-Sunrice in 2010. Now married and running the buzz-worthy Booya Bagels in Manila, they credit the academy for giving them the skills, courage, and vision to create not just a thriving business—but a beautiful life together.
“Singapore was our launch pad,” said Chef Nikki. “At-Sunrice taught us how to dream, plan, and execute on a global scale.”
Why Filipinos Are Saying Yes to Singapore
Singapore’s world-class culinary landscape and strategic location make it an ideal destination for Filipino students eager to make their mark. And with a culturally diverse environment and thriving Filipino community, it’s no surprise that more and more young talents are choosing to take their first step with At-Sunrice.
Whether you’re fresh out of high school, looking to switch careers, or a professional eager to level up—At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy opens the door to a global future in food and entrepreneurship.
