Awards

Five young Singaporeans have demonstrated not only strength and resilience when overcoming countless adversities in their young lives, they have also shown optimism for the future and a passion to help those who, like them, need a little boost. Their extraordinary achievements were celebrated at the Asia Pacific Breweries (APB) Foundation Scholarship for Persons with Disabilities award ceremony this morning. It was also the first time that more than three scholarships were awarded in a year.

Four young Singaporeans facing vastly different challenges every day proved that learning, sensory or physical disabilities are no barriers to excellence as they were awarded the Microsoft YouthSpark Scholarship for their extraordinary achievements this morning. For the first time, the scholarship was also awarded to a student with dyslexia.
