Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore and the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education Agency (LPDP), a public service agency under Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance, are launching two new postgraduate scholarships to foster greater collaboration between Singapore and Indonesia in the area of higher education.

Indonesian students who are keen to pursue postgraduate research at NTU can apply for the LPDP-NTU Graduate Scholarship, which will fund eligible Indonesian students to do a PhD programme in social science, humanities, science, technology, engineering, and medicine at NTU Singapore.

The LPDP-NTU Fellows MBA Scholarship will financially support eligible Indonesian students for the Nanyang Fellows MBA (Master of Business Administration) programme, a one-year executive education programme offered by the Nanyang Business School at NTU and is designed for senior public sector executives.

The collaboration was inked in two agreements on 1 April in Jakarta, Indonesia, by NTU President Professor Ho Teck Hua and LPDP President Director Dr Andin Hadiyanto.
