In December 2008, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) became the first Kauffman Campus outside of the United States following a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between NTU and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The partnership will provide a framework for both institutes to advance entrepreneurship in Asia. The scope of the MOU involves developing a one-stop centre for entrepreneurship support on the NTU campus, including student exchanges, educational programmes in entrepreneurship and educational and research initiatives at NTU.

The grant provides tuition fee, travel expenses and other relevant living expenses for American graduates to attend the MSc TIP program at NTC. The Kauffman-Singapore Scholars will acquire an invaluable international perspective during the five-month program to study commercialization and entrepreneurship in Singapore.

Founded by late entrepreneur and philanthropist Ewing Marion Kauffman, the Foundation is based in Kansas City and has approximately $2 billion in assets.

The MSc TIP is now supported by the Management Development Scholarship (MDS) from SPRING Singapore. The MDS aims to elevate the next generation of leaders for the trailblazer companies of tomorrow.

Business owners who are keen to develop their promising executives/management and own companies that meet the requirements of MDS may apply for both the scholarship and the program separately.

NTU is the proud beneficiary of the S$5 million Entrepreneurship Education Fund, made possible by a gift from business leader Mr. Chua Thian Poh. The fund, together with an additional S$5 million matched by the local government, will go towards the fostering of entrepreneurship and innovation education in NTU, taking the University's Master of Science in Technopreneurship and Innovation Programme (MSc TIP) to the next level of research and teaching of entrepreneurship.
