Excellence Awards

The ITI Excellence Awards was launched in 2012, presented to selected ITT and MBOT undergraduates in their final term at SMU. Our selection criteria includes but are not limited to leadership, participation in extra-curriculum activities, and commitment to community service. For students with financial needs, special consideration will be given.

Each participating organization will be able to select 2 to 3 award recipients per year. Successful applicants will also have the opportunity to intern with ITI@SMU's industry partners where they can further develop deeper insights into the business. Students who successfully apply for the award will not be bonded.

*For students, please note that this award will only be disbursed when you graduate with the International Trading Track and/or Maritime Business & Operations Track (previously known as Maritime Economics Track).

Here are the names of our award recipients.
