Empowering Students with A Dynamic University Education

“I chose to support SMU because it is a dynamic university which does not just focus on academic achievements. Its interactive pedagogy of seminar-style teaching and mandatory community service for its students make it a unique tertiary institution. As a strong advocate of education, I hope that more students will benefit from the Bursary and learn to pay it forward by contributing back to society in time to come.”

Even before 2020, students have benefited from the generosity of donors such as Mr Lim Siah Mong, Chairman of Lubritrade Trading Pte Ltd. In 2014, he set up the Lim Siah Mong Scholarship at SMU which funded bond-free scholarships to full-time Singaporean freshmen enrolled in any undergraduate programme at the University.

In all, 25 full scholarships were awarded over a period of five years. Now, Mr Lim has endowed the Lim Siah Mong Bursary to assist underprivileged students at the University. He hopes to empower Singaporean undergraduates to fulfil their dreams in pursuing a high-quality education at the University without any financial constraints..
