Yingwen (BBM, 2004) is an alumna from the pioneering batch of graduates from SMU.  As an advocate of the value of education, Yingwen believes strongly that everyone should have the opportunity to study, learn, grow, and shape his/her future.  Yingwen had a memorable experience at SMU, spending many hours with friends studying on campus.  This Study Award is thus named in commemoration after Yingwen’s favourite classroom at the old Bukit Timah campus.  With a successful career in the private equity industry today, Yingwen thus desires to provide a student with the chance of a quality education like she had.  By establishing this Study Award, she hopes that no student facing financial difficulty should be denied the opportunity to educate themselves and create an impact on the world.
