The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) on July 13 said it will raise about $210,000 through various fund-raising events to offer scholarships to needy and deserving students taking up engineering courses.
For a start, there will be six scholarships with a combined value of $38,000 a year – two for students attending university, two for those going to polytechnics, and two for those going to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE).
The scholarship money will be awarded in a single payout, without any bond.
Speaking at the launch at ITE College Central, which was part of an event to mark National Engineers Day, Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat emphasised the critical role that engineers play in providing core services such as public transport.
He also noted how engineering innovations are key to supporting Singapore’s development in a more resource-constrained world.
