NUS Achievement Awards (NAA) 2026

NAA Recipients

NAA EDM Masthead (1)

Congratulations to our NAA 2023 recipients!

In 2023, we renamed the Awards as the NUS Achievement Awards to celebrate the full range and diversity of NUS student life offered by the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), which covers NUS Student Life Scholarship recipients.

Following the inclusion of Centre for the Arts into OSA, Arts was introduced as a category. In this period of transition, Arts recipients were honoured at a separate ceremony supported by our donor, Mr Tan Ean Kiam.

Below is a list of all recipients from the two 2023 ceremonies.

This category seeks to celebrate artistic excellence in NUS, and recognise significant contributions to the arts and arts management at NUS and the wider community.
