SIM University (UniSIM) and Business China are offering five new scholarships to help nurture young Singaporeans who can be bilingual and bi-cultural professionals.

The scholarships - which will be awarded to five recipients for a start - are for Chinese-related degree programmes, such as Chinese Language and Literature, Translation and Interpretation, as well as Early Childhood Chinese Language Education. The scholarships, which are bond-free, will cover up to 80 per cent of total course fees.

The scholarships are for Business China members and staff of corporate members who are non-degree holders.

This is the first time Business China is working with an educational institution. Business China chief executive officer Low Yen Ling said: "The second thing we'll do is work with UniSIM to see how in the longer term we can scale this beyond five students and five modules that they can choose from."

Ms Low, who is also a Member of Parliament for Chua Chu Kang GRC, added that the non-profit organisation is "exploring similar partnerships with other esteemed educational partners".
