The student will receive $30,000 to defray tuition or study-related expenses.
2021 marks the 10th year anniversary of the Singapore-Industry Scholarship (SgIS), which received its first batch of scholars in 2012. To date, the SgIS is the only scholarship offered in partnership between the Government and local industries, and it aims to nurture a core of Singaporean industry leaders to steer the development of the country’s key strategic industries.
To commemorate the 10th Anniversary, SgIS has organised a series of SgIS Gives Back initiatives, including fundraising and volunteering activities, to provide the SgIS alumni, scholars and partners with a chance to give back to the society.

Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) will be offering a new degree programme to fulfil the anticipated demand in automation engineering in the future by training students to develop, deploy and maintain field robots. The Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics Systems is a four-year programme offered by SIT and designed in consultation with key partners such as the National Robotics Programme (NRP) and Economic Development Board (EDB).
“Robots are no longer just operating in the factory shop floor, but are also required to work for, and alongside humans in various field applications,” said Professor Chua Kee Chaing, deputy president (academic) and provost of SIT.
“I think there’s more than a fair chance that people are promoted based on their performance,” he said. “But, of course, whether we invested in a person before or not, we all hope that they succeed.” He added that not all scholarship holders rise to the top, and that there are “great expectations” of those who have been given great opportunities.
“I’m quite confident that the public service has a certain diversity of backgrounds and there’s a continuous meritocracy,” Mr Chan added. “And that’s one of the reasons we constantly evolve our selection and development system.”
