Some news concerning scholarships for everyone!

Two Singapore state universities will provide scholarship to Myanmar maritime students for the year 2009-2010 to help nurture qualified experts of the country in the field, the local weekly journal Voice reported Saturday.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Nanyang Technology University (NTU) will reserve the scholarship for eight outstanding Myanmar students who are set to take up four major subjects covering Mechanical Engineering (ME), Civil Engineering ( CE), Electrical and Electronic (EE) and Maritime Studies, the report said.
Besides, the NUS and NTU, which are among the world's top universities, have also invited Myanmar students, who passed the matriculation examination and GCE O-level, to join their organized educational field trip mainly to study the education status of Singapore, other reports said.
Meanwhile, as part of the cooperation between Myanmar and Singapore in the education sector, a Singapore education fair, sponsored by the education agency of RV Center, was held in Myanmar's two major cities of Yangon and Mandalay in July this year.
Besides, the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) of Singapore has also planned to open a branch institution in Myanmar, aiming to nurture more Myanmar experts in the future, according to earlier report.
The move of the ITE, which stands an institution recognized by the Singapore Education Ministry as well as the international, is being assisted by the Myanmar domestic education company.

Now I heard that Singaporeans would never admit foreign students to their popular and high demand speciality degree courses. So giving out scholarships to these programmes must mean that there are hardly anyone enrolling for these courses.

ITE stands for Its The End.
Any comments on that anyone?
