Japan - 2008 / 2009 Japanese Grant Aid for Human Resource Development Scholarship (JDS)

The JDS Program is to provide nationalities of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Kyrgyz Republic, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam with opportunities for academic research at Japanese higher educational institutions under the Grant Aid assistance by Government of Japan. From last year, the recruitment for Kyrgyz Republic is newly started. (The new recruitment for Indonesia was terminated at the year of 2005.)

The objective of this program is to support the respective Government in its efforts to facilitate its own plans for human resource development mainly for capacity building and institutional building, and thereby extend and enhance the bilateral relationship with Japan.

The JDS Program targets young government officers for public sector, researchers, business people and others with the potential to play leadership roles in their specialties after return to each country as well as to become leaders in their homeland in the 21st century.

Singapore - 2007/2008 APEC MBA Scholarship at NTU

APEC Scholarship for Academic Year 2007 - 2008 (August 2007 admission) (Master and Business Administration - MBA Programme)

Nanyang Technological University is offering a number of APEC Scholarships in academic year 2007-2008 to finance outstanding candidates from the APEC member economies to pursue a full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme at the University.

Establishment of Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) Education Hubs
The Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) was established in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence among economies in the Asia-Pacific region.

At the APEC Leaders Meeting in 1996, Singapore proposed the establishment of regional education hubs in APEC member economies to achieve a network of education hubs that will contribute to the collective learning of APEC members. APEC member economies may offer to host hubs in one or a few areas of specialisation. Scholars from different economies with common interests can study together and interact with each other. This encourages multi-dimensional exchange and thus facilitates greater understanding among people of different economies.

Singapore offered to host two regional education hubs in the areas of Business Studies and Public Policy at our two Universities [i.e. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore]. A number of APEC Scholarships will be offered to outstanding candidates from APEC member economies to pursue a programme of study at one of these two hubs.
