Cambridge University Fitzwilliam College is offering the Kuok Family \u2013 Lee Kuan Yew PhD Scholarship for 2020\/21 academic year. Applicants are required to apply for available matched-funding schemes within the University and their Department.<\/p>\n
Lee Kuan Yew studied Law at Fitzwilliam between 1947 and 1949, and was elected an Honorary Fellow of the College in 1969. Following Mr Lee\u2019s death in March 2015, Fitzwilliam decided to create a permanent memorial to his memory which reflected his strong belief in the power of education.<\/p>\n
The Lee Kuan Yew Fitzwilliam\u00a0Scholarship Fund was established by the Governing Body of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, in 2016. The Fund\u00a0offers opportunities to talented young academics either from Singapore\u00a0or working in fields with some connection to Singapore\u00a0and in so doing\u00a0promotes intellectual exchange between Singapore and the University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n
Over the past century more than 150 students from Singapore have come to Fitzwilliam to expand their personal horizons and contribute to their country\u2019s success. As a result, our ties remain close, reflecting shared ambitions and mutual respect.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Lee Kuan Yew Fitzwilliam\u00a0Scholarship Fund builds on these historic connections between Fitzwilliam and Singapore\u00a0by investing in the next generation of outstanding young scholars, and the future of our ongoing relationship.<\/p>\n
