About the Donor
The overseas exchange scholarship is made possible through a grant from the Lin Foundation, a fund administered by the Community Foundation of Singapore. The Lin Foundation was set up by Edmund Lin and Trina Liang-Lin in 2016, with the conviction that the benefits reaped from an education should not be contingent on a student’s socio-economic background. Seeing education as the key to unlocking success, the foundation hopes to make opportunity accessible to students who do not have the corresponding means for their passion.
