In this ground breaking initiative Sian Chay Bursary Fund, Sian Chay will donate a total of $1mil over 10 years in partnership with NTU in support of the Fund. The bursary aims to help needy students of NTU by easing the financial pressure on their families, let them focus on furthering their studies in this reputable university to become the pillars of society in future.

Starting next year, one student will benefit under this bursary every year. After 2030, 10 students can benefit each year, each student can receive a bursary of $6,000.

Looking at the 5 core values of Sian Chay: Forgiveness, compassion, universal love, gratitude and blessings, you will notice that “forgiveness, compassion, and universal love” come from inner cultivation, life perspectives, life philosophy, and an attitude of gratitude and brightness towards life. These can solve many problems affecting physical and mental health, social harmony, interpersonal relationship, conflicts, and ignorance. I hope everyone can practice these values and integrate them into their lives.
