Temasek Polytechnic Scholarship

The prestigious bond-free Temasek Polytechnic (TP) Scholarship is awarded annually to newly enrolled Year 1 full-time students. This scholarship is open to all diploma courses, with the exclusion of the Diploma in Consumer Science & Technology course. The scholars will undergo a structured Student Leadership Programme (SLP) with opportunities to participate in overseas projects as well as leadership and talent development programmes.

The Student Leadership Programme (SLP)

The Student Leadership Programme (SLP) is an unique programme established to nurture and develop the personal leadership competencies in students with scholastic academic achievements and co-curricular accomplishments. Students in the programme will be developed to attain 5 leadership attributes, which are:

  • Commitment to Excellence
  • Strong Leadership Skills
  • Strong Team Skills
  • Community Centeredness
  • Future Orientation

The following exciting activities have been specially designed for our scholars:

» Leadership Training Camps and Courses
Opportunities will be given for you to discover your innate leadership attributes and develop physical, mental and social skills. Students who take on leadership positions will learn to embrace a pursuit-of excellence attitude, ultimately emerging as strong role models for their peers.

» Overseas and Local Adventure Expeditions
Through adventure expeditions, you will be taught lessons in adaptability, resourcefulness and resilience. You will go beyond your comfort zone to lead others whilst having your project management and leadership skills put to the test. Minds of steel will be forged and depth of character will be developed through these experiences.

» Overseas and Local Community Service Projects
Participation in community service projects inculcates a greater sense of community centeredness and a desire to help others who are less fortunate. You will understand materialism and contentment, and learn to foster leadership with compassion and love.

» Learning Trips, Seminars and Dialogue Sessions
Parliamentary visiting sessions, ministerial dialogue sessions, youth environment envoy workshops and race and ethnicity awareness programmes will broaden your perspectives on national policy formulation to ready you to become an interested, engaged and future-oriented leader.

» Overseas Academic Exchanges
Managed by our International Relations & Industry Services Department and the academic schools, selected students will be sent on study trips, academic competitions and overseas internships. This exposure will help to expand your academic horizons, whilst honing your cross-cultural sensitivity and giving you insights into industry developments that are relevant to your course of study.
