SINGAPORE - Students from the Singapore Management University who are facing financial hardship can find some relief from a new $2.5 million fund.
Other universities like the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University have also extended support to their students in similar circumstances. SMU had in April also set up a Global Exposure Contingency Fund to defray the financial costs of students affected by the cancellation of overseas programmes.
The SMU Dato' Kho Hui Meng Career Centre is also actively approaching employers to facilitate permanent and contract employment opportunities, and is reaching out to SMU alumni to offer fresh graduates traineeships and jobs. She said that many alumni, faculty and staff members have come forward to contribute, and with the collective effort, SMU will be able to help more students to ensure that their education is not derailed or disrupted.
