About Convocation

To nurture, enhance and recognise teaching excellence and the impact which great teachers have on their students, NTU initiated the “University Scholars Award” with the graduating class of Academic Year 2006/2007. 

This award gives recognition to the influence of inspirational teaching, and the enduring bonds that are forged between teachers and students.  It aims to establish long-lasting and fulfilling relationships between the University, the students and their teachers. 

Top NTU students who win this award will have achieved excellent academic performance, displayed strong leadership ability and demonstrated potential for contributing to society.  Each winner will acknowledge an NTU faculty member and a teacher from his/her former junior college, polytechnic, or equivalent institution, who have inspired and contributed significantly to his/her education. 

The teachers and NTU faculty members will be honoured at the NTU Convocation.  The teachers will also be recognised for their inspirational teaching with a S$5,000 cash grant each to be established in their names.  Each honoured teacher will nominate a student from his/her junior college, polytechnic or equivalent institution to receive the S$5,000 grant upon admission to NTU.
