Description:

The Foundation will select up to five students for the Kauffman-Singapore Scholars Program at Nanyang Technological University. The scholars will focus on how to take innovative ideas developed in the laboratory and turn them into businesses with growth potential and strong appeal for the rapidly expanding Asian marketplace.

Students educated in engineering, science, or technology must apply online by Feb. 10, 2009.
