Nanyang Scholarship and University Application
Lim Min has been offered the foremost Nanyang Scholarship by NTU.
Nanyang Scholarship covers up to the normal programme duration on condition that the scholar maintains a record of good academic performance and conduct satisfactory to the University.
- Subsidised tuition fees (after Tuition Grant) will be fully covered
- Living allowance of S$6,000 per academic year.
- Book allowance of S$500 per academic year.
- Accommodation allowance of up to S$2,000 per academic year.
Applicable to scholars who reside in NTU hostels.
- Travel grant of S$5,000 (one-off) *
- Computer allowance of S$1,500 (one-off).
- Settling-in allowance of S$250 (one-off).
- Priority for Overseas Study Programme.
- No bond is attached to the Nanyang Scholarship apart from the three-year bond applicable to all Singapore PRs and international students under the MOE Tuition Grant Scheme.
Course Offered - Double Degree in Accountancy and Business (Direct Honours, duration 3.5 to 4 years)
Lim Min prefers a professional course (Accountancy) + a course that she has interest in or is confident of doing well (Computing/Math/Science). Unfortunately, NTU does not have such a double degree, so she ended up choosing NTU Accountancy + Business. Both Accountancy and Business are new to her, it is difficult to tell if she would be interested or if she will excel in these courses to earn a good honours degree at the end. She would be more confident of doing well in Math, Science and Computing modules, which has always been her pet subjects. By taking Accountancy and Business, it means she has to step out of her comfort zone into new challenges. The NTU offer is attractive - a good scholarship, with a double degree (in Accountancy and Business with direct honours) that takes only 3.5 to 4 years. Most other double degrees with honours from NTU and NUS would have required 4.5 - 5 years to complete. And according to the article above from NTU magazine Hey! Mar-Apr 2013 issue, the first batch of its double degree in Accountancy and Business who graduated last year are earning an average of $7k+ at the 90th percentile :O
