Campaign Story

This year has been declared as the Year of Celebrating SG Women in recognition of women’s contributions to the Singapore story. In conjunction with International Women’s Day, the EC GRC Grassroots Advisors (GRAs) are launching a landmark bursary fund – the EC WinSTEM (Women in STEM) Bursary.

The fund, for female students from modest economic backgrounds, currently enrolled in ITE, Polytechnics and Universities*, will help close the distance to their dreams of a future in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The EC WinSTEM Bursary will support the ambitions of female students from modest income backgrounds to create a better future for themselves as graduates of STEM, who will in turn be contributing significantly to Singapore’s development.

* ITE College Central, East and West; Nanyang, Ngee Ann, Republic, Singapore and Temasek Polytechnics; Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Social Sciences and Singapore University of Technology and Design.
