About the Donor

Megaworld Corporation was founded by Dr. Andrew Tan and incorporated in the Philippines on August 24, 1989. Its primary focus is on real estate development, including the development, leasing, and marketing of high-end residential condominiums and commercial properties in urban areas, such as Metro Manila. Recognising the demand for quality residences in close proximity to offices and leisure facilities, Megaworld shifted its attention in 1996 to the creation of mixed-use communities, primarily targeting the middle-income market. This shift was exemplified by the initiation of its Eastwood City community township development, located in Quezon City, Philippines. In addition to its core business, Megaworld is involved in various property-related activities such as project design, construction oversight, and property management.

Megaworld Corporation is guided by its vision of uplifting lives, impacting society, and helping shape the nation.

Megaworld Corporation is one of several contributors to the SMU Philippine Community Fund. This visionary fund signifies a steadfast commitment to empower and uplift Filipino students embarking on their journey towards higher education at SMU and is dedicated to making a positive impact through educational advancement and catalysing industry growth. Through the generous support of our donors and industry leaders in the Philippines, an array of opportunities will be offered to brilliant Filipino students, including scholarships at the postgraduate and undergraduate levels, exchange scholarships, and innovation internship grants for all undergraduate students. With these diverse avenues for growth and learning, the SMU Philippine Community Fund will uplift the lives of students and the entire Filipino community and aims to shape future leaders and innovators who will bring about transformative change for the industry, community, and nation.
