Postgraduate Scholarships 2023 Testimonials

”TKKFPS has allowed me to open up my horizons by supporting my area of research beyond the local scene. In this pursuit of arts and creation, I've been exposed to vast perspectives transcending language, culture and borders. In midst of so, I will always remember the spirit of Mr Tan Kah Kee and the wise ones who came before us- to put one's idealism into effort and action, to always uphold your ethos and values, and to always have your community in mind.”

“It is a privilege to be supported by the Tan Kah Kee Foundation through the Tan Ean Kiam Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship in the Humanities. The award went a long way in supporting my fieldwork on the history of finance in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the UK. It enabled me to focus on research and learning by reducing my financial pressure. But, receiving the scholarship meant much more than money as it is truly an honor to be acknowledged and supported by the legacy of Mr Tan Kah Kee and Mr Tan Ean Khiam in promoting education and the common good. The scholarship further encourages me to contribute positively back to society through volunteering and sharing my research findings."
