Hear from Our Scholars

Being an NP scholar gave me the impetus to use my skills to make a positive impact. With the training that I’ve received in the Diploma of Design course and the experience I’ve gained in applying the design thinking methodology, I look forward to honing my skills further in university and contributing to future generations through good design!

I am confident that the Mapletree-Ngee Ann Polytechnic Scholarship will provide me with fantastic opportunities to gain indispensable insights & exposure to the real estate industry. I am especially honoured and privileged to secure an internship with one of Singapore’s biggest Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). This will be a monumental step in my real estate journey.

As a final-year student and a recipient of the Tan Sri (Dr) Tan Chin Tuan Scholarship, I’ve been provided opportunities to further my passion for community work through art. I’ve worked with Thye Hwa Kuan BP Family Centre to run an online Arts Jamming Programme for their children beneficiaries and exhibited their final pieces at Bukit Panjang Library. Having benefitted from this scholarship, I hope to inspire others to connect with the local community and also wish to start a ground-up initiative to nurture creativity, self-expression and mental wellness.

Apart from allowing me to fully focus on my academic studies and passions without having to worry about school fees, the CSIT Diploma Scholarship also offered me the chance to embark on an internship as a software developer with CSIT. I got to work and learn from experts within the tech industry and pick up knowledge in the latest industry-standard technology. These will definitely come in handy as I hope to continue my studies through a Degree in Computer Science at NUS – my aspiration is to become a software developer.
