SoC 50th Anniversary Bursary
About this Fund
The SoC 50th Anniversary Bursary was established in 2026 in celebration of NUS Computing’s 50th anniversary, marking five decades of education, innovation and community.
The Bursary supports full-time undergraduates from the School of Computing who face financial challenges. It reflects the School’s commitment to ensuring that students admitted to the School of Computing through merit are supported in their pursuit of a computing education, regardless of financial background.
Monies raised will be channelled towards an endowed bursary fund, allowing donors to build a lasting legacy of support for future generations of computing students.
