Nova SBE Fellowship for Excellence

A small number of gifted individuals can have a great impact on society. The Nova SBE Fellowship for Excellence identifies the most talented students in the school and empowers them to change the world.

The program includes exclusive networking opportunities, social impact experiences, a leadership program with business leaders as keynote speakers, and tuition fees support. This merit-based program is offered to students with demonstrated academic excellence, outstanding performance in sports, and culture and social engagement. The award is sponsored by benefactors and corporations who want to empower high-achievement students with energy and aspiration.

The Nova SBE Fellowship for Excellence prepares individuals to achieve their full potential as students, no doubt, but also as citizens and human beings. In other words, it gives the Fellows the opportunity to go out into the world and leave their mark; whatever that mark might be; it is an ecosystem where energy and creativity turn into deeds - where aspirations and dreams become day-to-day life. It sees individual accomplishment as the foundation of social progress, which is to say it believes the Fellows will become the next generation of business and society leaders. We invite organizations to become part of the future and support this outstanding talent by:

Strategic involvement
Knowledge sharing
Learning opportunities
Financial contribution

The future of our world depends on the skills, the values, and the attitude we develop in the following generations.
