What are the benefits for SHARP students who are enrolled in CDP?

SHARP students who are selected for CDP will be awarded tuition fee waiver in Terms 9 and 10. The tuition fee waiver is valued at the applicable postgraduate tuition fees* for Singapore Citizens.

Within Terms 9 and 10, they will just need to take one graduate course, and extend their project to satisfy the criteria for an MEng thesis.
