National Silver Academy Courses

The National Silver Academy (NSA) subsidy aims to encourage and support seniors in lifelong learning by broadening the learning options and breaking down barriers to provide affordable learning.

Courses supported by NSA are in areas which are more life-skills-oriented. Participant at the age of 50 and above during the year of course ​​can enjoy up to 50% of course fee subsidy, subject to a maximum of $500 per course. 

PaCE@NTU offers a range of short courses for Seniors (aged 50 and above). These courses include life-skills-oriented, and/or work-skills-related topics. Click here to view FAQs.
