Supporting Student Development
Help the next generation to go further!
The SoC learning experience extends beyond the conventional classroom setting. We are passionate about providing our students with opportunities to learn and to develop themselves fully through all-rounded experiences that cultivate resilience, leadership, community-building skills, and overall wellbeing alongside technical excellence.
Contact us if you are keen to support hackathons, industry challenge and other competitions, certifications, overseas study trips or international competitions, well-being initiatives, mentorship programmes or other high-impact, transformative out of classroom engagements.
Computing Innovators Programme
SoC has launched a new Computing Innovators Programme (C-Innovators) in 2026. This is a special pathway for talented undergraduates to develop creativity and innovation. This select group of students will work on open-ended challenges and lead projects that combine technology with human and societal needs. Student interest in the C-Innovators programme has been strong.
Do get in touch with us if you are keen to support this programme financially, or if you are keen to partner SoC to set up a (named) centre to drive student innovation, from seeding ideas to supporting journeys from exploration to experimentation and execution.
Direct contributions can also be made to the following funds that support student development:

This support has made a meaningful difference to students by easing the financial impediments of pursuing valuable learning experiences beyond the classroom. The Fund provides one-off financial assistance of up to $1,500 per student per academic year.
Ms Dorothy Yuan, a Bachelor of Computing (Information Systems) student who graduated in AY 2025/26 was a beneficiary of the Fund. Read about how the fund gave Ms Dorothy Yuan the opportunity to present her research project at the world-leading Max Planck Institute for Human Development. Through this experience, she gained valuable exposure, confidence, and professional growth.
