Yesterday, Dr Lee Boon Yang, chairman of media group Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), gave out the SPH journalism scholarship for undergraduate studies to five recipients – Ms Clara Chong, 19; Ms Prisca Ang, 19; Ms Jean Lau, 20; Ms Charmaine Ng, 22; and Mr Yap Jun Weng, 21.
“Professional journalists with the skills to investigate, report and analyse news that matters to the readers will always be in demand. This is what SPH assures its readers that it is capable of delivering every day,” said Dr Lee.
Eleven university students also received the SPH Foundation Lim Kim San Memorial Scholarship yesterday. The bond-free scholarship was launched in 2006 for students of modest means to help them pursue local undergrad studies in languages and humanities.
