The new NTU Talent Scholarship — the first of its kind for the university — comes amid Singapore’s push tobeyond grades"towards a meritocracy of skills, where everyone is given the chance to fulfil their potential regardless of where they start in life", said NTU in a press release on Thursday .

This includes but is not limited to"musicians, filmmakers, and writers; sporting professionals, leaders, and community builders, which could include entrepreneurs, healthcare advocates, and active volunteers", NTU said.
