About the Scholarship Sponsor:
The National Institution of Singapore is a world-class educational and research institution that ranks first in Asia and among the best in the world. The university has both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in fields as diverse as science and music. NUS’s three main campuses are located in Kent Ridge, Outram, and Bukit Timah, and are home to 17 different departments and schools. NUS is known for several of its institutions, including the Yale-NUS College liberal arts institution, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, and the Duke-NUS Medical School, which is a joint venture with Duke University in the United States.
The curriculum at NUS is extensive and rigorous, with classes spanning multiple departments and disciplines. Small-group instruction (modules) and the semester schedule are just two examples of how the school combines the best of the British and American educational systems (course credits). Its innovative curriculum provides students with the flexibility to move freely among departments and programs, take electives from across the university, study abroad, gain experience in business through internships, and even earn two degrees at once through partnerships with the world’s finest universities. However, young people today have a great deal of leeway to explore their creative, athletic, and cultural interests. The university is home to over 38,000 students hailing from over a hundred different nations.
