A priceless gift that provides relief from a huge financial burden
When I learned that the Foundation was awarding me a scholarship, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at night! With just a few weeks left before I take the Common Final Examination, this scholarship has definitely encouraged me to keep going at this crucial stage of my path. I am deeply grateful that you believed in my potential.

Financial assistance scholarships are helpful and appreciated
Becoming a CPA is a process that requires a lot of time, energy and money. I notice that more and more students have parental responsibilities and must balance work, family and studies to reach their goal. The scholarships awarded by the CPA Foundation are a great way to show them that we encourage them to continue their projects. I am convinced that these future CPAs will make us proud later because we helped them during their academic careers.

The importance of being a positive influence in your community
Your generosity touches me immensely and inspires me to keep working hard in my academic career, my professional life and my community service activities.

Positive impacts that go beyond borders!
Thanks to the Foundation’s scholarship, I was able to participate in a university exchange program and help Singaporean children improve their reading ability. Helping youth from underprivileged families learn new skills is, in my opinion, crucial to developing a strong society. Thank you, dear donors, for giving us the means to help others in turn.

Donations help build successful careers
I was fortunate enough to participate in 5 business competitions and still have excellent academic results during my studies. Thanks to the Foundation’s scholarship, I have been able to take advantage of opportunities that will set me apart in the job market and move me toward my objective: a career in investigative and forensic accounting. In that field, I will be able to help fight against money laundering and other financial crimes.

Not once, but twice!
I am proud to have received a 2nd scholarship from the CPA Foundation. This mark of recognition confirms my career choice.
