The Foong Hock Meng and Family Bursary was established to support financially disadvantaged but deserving students pursuing a full-time undergraduate degree at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
Students pursuing a full-time undergraduate degree offered by the Institute.
Are Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents.
Have a household Per Capita Income (PCI) of not more than $1,000 or have provided evidence of family financial difficulties.
Preference will be given to applicants who have demonstrated leadership qualities or have made significant contributions beyond academic studies to the Institute or the community.
Each Bursary is valued at S$5,000 and is tenable for one academic year.
The Bursary shall be used for the recipient’s educational expenses such as tuition fees, course materials, expenses for study trips and fees for other educational activities organised by the Institute.
Recipients of this Bursary may not accept another bursary concurrently.
No bond is required of the recipient.
The Bursary is made possible by a gift from Mrs Yi-Lin Tan and Mr Foong Sheng-Wei, in memory of their late father Mr Foong Hock Meng. In 2015, the Foong Family Bursary was established by Mr Foong Hock Meng to help make a positive impact on the lives of financially disadvantaged undergraduates at SIT. His children hope to continue upholding this spirit of giving through the Foong Hock Meng and Family Bursary.
Matriculated students are to submit their Financial Aid application via the SIT Student Intranet - IN4SIT. Do note that students are to connect to the SIT VPN before accessing IN4SIT.
Applicants will need to complete and submit the online application form and upload all required supporting documents through the application portal by the given deadline.
