NAFA celebrated a heartwarming afternoon of generosity, gratitude, and student achievement at the Scholarships & Awards Ceremony 2025 on 17 October 2025. A total of 273 awards, valued at over $1.4 million, were presented to students across disciplines, recognising their talent, dedication, and potential.
The event was made especially memorable by the presence of donors, who engaged meaningfully with the students and were moved by their expressions of gratitude — from the exhibition showcase to the thoughtfully prepared thank-you notes.
The ceremony also featured standout performances, including the interdisciplinary piece SELF by BA (Hons) Performance Making students and alumni, created by Max Yeo Zhen Yu, and the moving rendition of Ombra Mai Fu by Ian Yew and Rachael Wong, both recipients of the OCBC NAFA Scholarship.
The evening highlighted the enduring impact of donor support, fostering not only artistic excellence but also a spirit of gratitude that will inspire students to give back to the community in the years ahead.
