Application for the Media Education Scholarship is now open. If you are keen to pursue undergraduate/ postgraduate programmes, do apply for them! Closing date is 15 March 2012.
WHAT’S NEW?
From this year onwards, MDA will be partnering with established media companies to co-offer scholarship to outstanding students and media practitioners. Unlike the previous years where there was a cap to the tuition fees we were supporting, have revised the scheme to cover the full tuition and other compulsory university fees. Scholars will also receive an annual living allowance to help defray their living expenses while studying. Scholars will also secure a job placement with the sponsoring company, where they will serve a bond of min 3 years, depending on the value of the scholarship. They will be groomed for leadership role or developed as specialists in their field of study, when they join the company.
WHAT ARE THE SPONSORING MEDIA COMPANIES?
Companies that are co-offering the scholarship with us include:
• MediaCorp
• SingTel
• Singapore Press Holdings
• StarHub
• World Scientific Publishing.
We are supporting outstanding individuals in the fields of journalism, new media engineering, interactive digital media, publishing, broadcast, etc.
There will be another few more companies coming on board soon.
