Among the recipients was Amanda Lin Kexin, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Maritime Studies at NTU.

I am incredibly grateful for the people I have met along the way, whose guidance, conversations and experiences have broadened my view, deepened my understanding of shipping, and opened doors to new opportunities. The Clarksons – MaritimeONE Scholarship has given me the chance to embark on the exciting journey of shipbroking, and I look forward to discovering where this journey will take me.”
