Keppel donates $1 million to support business and engineering students

Keppel Ltd. (“Keppel”), through its philanthropic arm Keppel Care Foundation, will donate $1 million to Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (“NTU Singapore”) to establish the Keppel Bursary for Business and Engineering. 

The bursary will support undergraduates in financial need at NTU Singapore’s College of Engineering and Nanyang Business School. Eligible programmes include Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic, and Environmental Engineering, Robotics, Business Analytics, Finance, and Actuarial Data Science. 

A minimum of 100 bursary awards will be granted over 10 academic years, with approximately 10 students receiving the bursaries in each academic year. The bursary will go towards supporting students with tuition fees, as well as living and study-related expenses. 

At the signing of the donation agreement today, Mr Loh Chin Hua, CEO of Keppel, said, “Keppel is pleased to establish the Keppel Bursary for Business and Engineering at NTU, which will enhance support for undergraduate students facing financial difficulties. The bursary will make education more accessible, and reflects Keppel’s commitment to give back to and support communities wherever we operate.”

NTU President Professor Ho Teck Hua said, “Talent is not defined by a student’s financial circumstances, and neither should their opportunities be. We thank Keppel for this generous gift, which will ease the financial burden on our engineering and business students and give them greater freedom to make the most of their time at NTU. Keppel’s support advances our NTU2030 vision of nurturing talent through transformative education, so that our graduates can make a difference in Singapore and beyond.”
