About the Donor
Andrew (2006, BAcc) and Diana (2008, BBM) are proud alumni of SMU, both deeply appreciative of the enriching education they received during their time on campus.
For Andrew, this education journey eventually led him to co-found Sun Moon Capital Pte. Ltd, an asset management firm managing funds across a range of diverse investment strategies.
Grateful for the opportunities that shaped their own journeys, they hope their contribution will support financially-challenged students with the drive to excel to build a bright future for themselves and, in time, pay it forward to others.
