Introduced in 1994, the Asian Nursing Scholarship (ANS) aims to sponsor talented students from Asian countries to pursue nursing studies at Singapore’ s polytechnics, thereby supplementing the nation’s nursing workforce upon their graduation.
In collaboration with a Singapore government agency, Gateway Technologies Services Pte Ltd has been instrumental in attracting students from Malaysia, with qualifications equivalent to Singapore’s O-levels (minimum Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, or SPM), to pursue a Diploma in Nursing at either Ngee Ann Polytechnic or Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore. Upon graduation, these students are assigned to work in public healthcare institutions across Singapore.
Since its involvement in this initiative in 2008, Gateway Technologies Services has successfully attracted hundreds of students annually, making a significant contribution to the healthcare sector in Singapore.
