Temasek Foundation - NTU LEaRN Programme
The Temasek Foundation and NTUhave jointly established a LEaRN Programme for undergraduate students. The acronym stands for Leadership Enrichment and Regional Networking.
The objective of the programme is to build capacities and leadership capabilities of students through inbound and outbound immersion awards. The Outbound Immersion Awards enable high calibre NTU undergraduates to study and undergo professional attachment in selected countries in Asia. This will provide them a total experiential learning opportunity and gain an early start in building regional connections and gain cultural intelligence. It is linked to NTU's successful Global Immersion Programme (GIP).
GIP students selected for the TF-NTU LEaRN Programme (Outbound Immersion Awards) in 2009 will receive $4250 each and this award is appliable to Singaporeans and Singapore PR only.
Please click here for the details of the award.
2. Loans
A student is expected to incur a certain amount of living and travelling expenses within Singapore if she/he spends a semester in NTU. As such, the loan is expected to cover a substantial amount of the additional living and travelling expenses while overseas.
Students may apply for the maximum amount of loan but the final quantum awarded will depend on each applicant’s overall financial situation.
