PSB Academy, a leading private education institution in Singapore, has announced the launch of its Beyond60 initiative, a S$2.1 million programme aimed at funding education scholarships for 30 recipients. The scholarships will be awarded through partnerships with the Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise (raiSE), United Women Singapore, and Care Corner Singapore, focusing on social enterprises, women in STEM, and youths-at-risk.
The scholarships, part of the SG60 “Building Our Singapore Together” theme, will cover educational programmes ranging from six months to four years. Derrick Chang, CEO of PSB Academy, emphasised the importance of providing equal opportunities for Singaporeans to progress, stating, “We must ensure that prosperity extends to more members of the community.”
The initiative aims to strengthen the capabilities of leaders within the social enterprise sector, provide young women with opportunities in STEM, and support at-risk youths in achieving their academic goals. Alfie Othman, CEO of raiSE, highlighted the strategic investment in human capital, whilst Tan Ching Ne, President of United Women Singapore, noted the importance of equipping young women to thrive in underrepresented fields.
Scholarships will be awarded in multiple tranches, with courses commencing as early as the second half of this year and as late as December 2026. Applications are open until 31 December 2025. PSB Academy plans to host public engagement activities to promote inclusivity and accessibility in education.
