About the Donor
The PT Grace Daniel Lee Exchange Grant is supported by SMU alumnus, Leong Meijun (BAcc, 2006) who has been a strong supporter and donor towards her alma-mater. Meijun believes that overseas exchange programmes support the overall learning experience of an SMU education and through the Grant, she hopes financially challenged students at the School of Accountancy have an equal opportunity to pursue an exchange experience to complement their SMU journey.
Meijun hopes that the recipients of the PT Grace Daniel Lee Exchange Grant which is named after her accountancy professors ('P' for Prof Pang Yang Hoong and 'T' for Prof Themin Suwardy) whom she owes a debt of gratitude, and her children will be inspired to pay it forward and give back to the same SMU experience that shaped them in the future.
