Lim Kim San Memorial Scholarship

Funded by the SPH Foundation, the Lim Kim San Memorial Scholarship was established in 2006 in honour of the late Mr. Lim Kim San, Singapore’s first Minister for National Development, who was instrumental in shaping the nation’s public housing landscape. The bond-free scholarship seeks to support promising undergraduates from modest family backgrounds pursuing full-time languages, linguistics, and humanities degree programs at our local universities. 

Recipients have benefitted from this scholarship, gaining financial freedom to focus on their studies and community contributions. Scholars are encouraged to give back through volunteer work during and after their university years, fostering a cycle of positive social impact.
