The School has received a generous contribution of $872,500 from The Courage Fund Ltd to establish The Courage Fund PhD (Infectious Disease) Scholarship.
The Scholarship will be available for both full-time and part-time PhD candidates in AY2016/2017, and will also allow full-time PhD candidates an attachment in the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Established in 2003 at the height of the SARS epidemic, The Courage Fund was jointly organised by the National Healthcare Group (NHG), Singapore Health Services (SingHealth), Singapore Medical Association (SMA), Singapore Nurses’ Association (SNA) and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) to provide relief to SARS victims and healthcare workers.
We at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to The Courage Fund for their generous gift and support of this worthy cause in furthering the School’s mission of turning discovery into healthier communities in Singapore and the region.
