Record number of scholarships due to 'overwhelming' demand

NTU gives out record number of scholarships due to 'overwhelming' demand

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has given out a record 396 scholarships to freshmen this year, due to "overwhelming" demand.

They were awarded either the Nanyang Scholarship or admitted into one of its four premier scholars' programmes on Friday.

Last year 271 scholarships were given out and NTU said the increase was down to more students with at least four As enrolling and applying for scholarships.

University president Bertil Andersson said: "NTU achieved a fantastic 83 per cent record increase in top A-level students enrolling to the university, compared to 2011."
