PTA Senior Scholarship

Senior scholarship applications are now open! The PTA senior scholarships are designed to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding graduating seniors, by awarding scholarship monies in support of the recipients' continuing education at the college, university or other accredited post secondary institution of their choice.

For the class of 2017, the PTA will award a maximum of three scholarships in the amount of SGD 5,000 each.

To earn a scholarship, a senior must demonstrate exemplary character, academic achievement, leadership skills, a record of community service and a strong commitment to completing a course of post secondary education. Financial need can also be presented as a factor in a candidate's application, at the discretion of the candidate and his or her family.

Applications are now available online, and must be submitted no later than April 12 at 3:15p.m.

Student applications must be accompanied by a teacher recommendation of the applicants choice.

A committee representing a cross section of parents and teachers from all divisions of SAS will select the winners. To ensure impartiality, the selection process will be blind. Each application will be identified by a code number only. Use of a name will be grounds for immediate exclusion from consideration.

The names of the recipients will be kept confidential until the Academic/Service/Activities Awards Ceremony. The scholarships will be applicable to the tuition at the college, university or other accredited post secondary institution of the recipients' choice.

Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 to apply.
