What our other recipients said:
Emma Gray (2014 cohort) is based in Germany, working for the multinational Ganter Group. She applied for funding to complete an Intercultural Psychology course that would help her better facilitate intercultural training for her mainly non-English speaking colleagues. “The TTS Foundation Career Development Grant supports Tanglin Alumni far beyond their time at the school. Thanks to the grant, I am now working towards a further education diploma in Intercultural Psychology through distance learning that is enabling me to carry out intercultural training for my colleagues. The grant is the ideal opportunity to follow your personal or professional passion.” Lily McConnell (2010 cohort) is Head of Spanish at Blenheim High School, UK. She applied for the Career Development Grant to fund a translation course that would boost her linguistic qualifications. “I applied for the grant after fellow Tanglin Alumni flagged up the opportunity to me. As a teacher of languages, I had always wanted to undertake a master’s degree in Translation to further my subject knowledge and open up potential career opportunities. The grant provided me with the funds and motivation I needed to make the leap.” To apply for the Career Development Grant, go to alumni.tts.edu.sg. Each application should be accompanied by a written proposal as to why and how the grant will benefit you. Successful applicants will be asked to attend a panel review.
