Nanyang Technological
University – scholarship scheme
Rolls-Royce launched a scholarship programme
in conjunction with Nanyang Technological University (NTU)’s
aerospace engineering degree programme in 2006.
This is the first scholarship programme to be initiated
by Rolls-Royce in Singapore. Moreover, NTU’s programme
is the first aerospace engineering degree in Singapore.
Four undergraduates received scholarships amounting to
a total of S$100,000 at the launch ceremony of the new Aerospace
(Aeronautical) Engineering Degree at Nanyang Technological
University (NTU).
Chosen from the top ten per cent of the first cohort of
the course by a panel comprising of Rolls-Royce executives
and academic staff, the scholars were evaluated based on
their academic performances and through selection interviews.
Training and Attachment Programme
Organised by the Economic Development Board (EDB) of Singapore,
TAP is an industry programme which aims to help companies
develop manpower capabilities and prepare for growth. EDB
provides the funding for the training, both in Singapore
and abroad, while industry partners such as Rolls-Royce
provide the training of engineers and other professionals.
The inaugural Aero Gas Turbine Technology Training and
Attachment Programme involves either a nine month attachment
for repair engineers or an eighteen month attachment for
overhaul engineers at the Rolls-Royce facilities in Derby.
After which, the applicants will return to the local facilities
of Rolls-Royce in Singapore for a nine month attachment
at SAESL.
