Largest cohort of scholars for this year's Singapore-Industry Scholarship

SINGAPORE - A year ago Mr Muhammad Rilwan Mohamed Haniffa would not have dared to dream that he would receive a scholarship to pursue Information Systems at the National University of Singapore .

This year saw the largest cohort of scholars for the SgIS and the presentation ceremony was held at the University Cultural Centre of NUS, with Second Minister for Education, Ms Indranee Rajah, as guest of honour. Mr Rilwan used to be a"situational leader". He was troop leader of his Scouts group and a member of the student council in Gan Eng Seng School. While in Nanyang Junior College, he headed projects in his service learning club and was logistics in-charge of his Malay Cultural Society.

As part of the SgIS Scholars' Development and Engagement Programme, sponsoring organisations provide internships and mentorships for the scholars to gain industry knowledge. They also get to join forums involving various leaders from the public and private sector, exposing them to the broad issues facing key industries in Singapore.
