About the Grant

The SMU Work-Study Grant (WSG) Scheme offers undergraduate students with financial need a chance to earn some income by working at the University, supported through the Grant, while learning useful skills in the process.  It is one of the work activities approved under the SMU Work on Campus Scheme to train full-time students in real-life work conditions through on-campus work opportunities.

The WSG Scheme is co-funded by a generous contribution by Dr Lillyn Teh, which also supported the Lillyn Teh Endeavour Scholarship and the Lillyn Teh Endeavour Study Award.
