Over 17,500 students have benefited from SchoolBAG since 2001. The
grants help subsidise the students’ school expenses or enrichment
programmes.
Minister for Social and Family Development Mr Tan Chuan-Jin
awarded cheques to the recipients from 85 schools at the presentation
ceremony in Yishun Town Secondary School. Minister Tan said: “I
would like to thank Sembcorp Marine for initiating and continuing
with the SchoolBAG programme for the past 15 years. Such Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives are slowly helping to transform
our society bit by bit.”
“The SchoolBAG programme is based on our recognition
of education as a pillar of community development
and nation-building. We hope to lighten the financial
burden of a group of needy students so that they can
focus better on their studies and build a brighter future
for themselves, their families and the nation.
