Mr Timothy Chia Chee Ming, a member of the SMU's Board of Trustees and Chairman, Hup Soon Global Corporation Limited pledged an endowed gift of S$500,000 toward the Charlie Chia Cheng Guan Scholarship, established in honour of his late father. His late father was deprived of the opportunity to further his studies when he was young, hence he understood how important it is for motivated students to realise their aspirations and potential through tertiary education. It is thus Mr Timothy Chia's hope that setting up this scholarship in his late father's honour would enable more deserving students to benefit from the experience and quality undergraduate programmes that SMU offers.
