IS THE NTU TALENT SCHOLARSHIP FOR YOU?
Success doesn’t just mean stellar grades. Recognising this, NTU’s newest scholarship celebrates strengths in diverse fields, whether you’re an athlete, an entrepreneur, a budding artist or a community leader.
Open to current and prospective students, the annual scholarship comes with perks such as tuition fee coverage, allowances for living and accommodation, as well as a $5,000 grant that can be used towards nurturing your talent.
All talent scholars will join the Student Talent Development Programme at the university to be equipped with skills to make an even greater impact in the areas they are passionate about. The programme helps them realise their potential as tech disruptors, eco champions, innovators, entrepreneurs, wellbeing and health advocates, and culture and society specialists.
Got a talent? Look out for the next application window in June.
