About the Donor
Established in 2021, the SMU Access Endowment Study Award is made possible by a generous and anonymous donor who is a senior leader in the financial industry.
These study awards are available to financially needy full-time Singaporean undergraduates, as well as Malaysian undergraduates who are also Singapore Permanent Residents at the Singapore Management University. This is an extension of the donor’s desire to motivate and encourage undergraduate students to achieve greater heights of academic and practical excellence, despite difficult circumstances.
The donor hopes that in the future, recipients of these study awards will learn to pay forward and help others who are less privileged.
