New Zealand varsity reaches out to the world
The earthquake that hit Christchurch in February was the "kick" that New Zealand's University of Canterbury (UC) needed to set in motion plans to internationalise its undergraduate student experience - and Singapore students keen on an outdoorsy tertiary experience stand to benefit from a new scholarship programme offered by the university.
Tenable for four years,
each of the 24 international awardees stand to receive up to NZ$20,000 (S$20,600) a year, starting from next year.
The number of Singaporeans studying full-time at the UC is small - fewer than 20 - but it hopes to entice more.
