由于家庭原因，他不打算上大學。幸運的是，Royson Tan獲得了獎學金，讓他繼續學習，朝著自己的目標前進。Royson Tan(24歲)是南洋美術學院(NAFA)的一年級學生，正在攻讀設計實踐學士學位。在NAFA完成了他的3D設計專業文憑(家具和空間)，他獲得了更多的實踐經驗，現在對他的未來有了更清晰的愿景。在采訪中，他透露，由于家庭經濟狀況不穩定，他從來沒有想過要拿到學位，只想拿到專業文憑后就去工作。獎學金幫助他減輕了經濟負擔，讓他可以繼續在設計領域學習更多的東西。義安公司 (NAK)捐贈了120萬新元建立了一個獎學金基金，以支持NAFA的學生，他們像Tan一樣，正在攻讀美術、設計實踐和表演制作學位。NAFA的這三門課程是由倫敦藝術大學認證的，將授予總共50名新加坡公民和永久居民。另一位獎學金獲得者是Sarah Kwek(23歲)，她正在攻讀美術學位。Kwek說，NAFA幫助她拓寬了視野，發展成為一名藝術家。Kwek相信這個獎學金是幫助她實現成為一名美術教師夢想的跳板。義安公司副主席兼捐贈與慈善小組委員會主席Jamie Teo先生在致辭中表示，義安公司很榮幸能夠支持NAFA通過獎學金培養下一代藝術家。

 

The Ngee Ann Kongsi donates $1.2million for NAFA Scholarships

He did not plan to enrol into university because of his family situation. Fortunately, Royson Tan obtained a scholarship which allowed him to continue his studies and move towards his goals. Tan (24) is a first-year student pursing his Bachelor of the Arts (Hons) Design Practice at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA). Completing his Diploma in Design (Furniture and Spatial) at NAFA, he garnered more practical experience and now has a clearer vision for his future. In his interview, Tan revealed that due to his family’s unstable financial situation, he never planned for a degree, and wanted to enter the workforce after obtaining his Diploma. The scholarship has helped ease his financial burdens and allowed him to continue learning more in the field of design. The Ngee Ann Kongsi (NAK) donated $1.2million to set up a scholarship fund in support of NAFA students, who like Tan, are pursuing their Degrees in Fine Art, Design Practice, and Performance Making. The three courses at NAFA are validated by the University of the Arts, London, and will be awarded to a total of 50 Singapore citizens and permanent residents in two- and three-year courses for five academic years. Another scholarship recipient is Sarah Kwek (23), who is pursuing her degree in Fine Arts. Kwek said that NAFA has helped her broaden her horizons, step out of her comfort zone, and develop as an artist. Kwek believes that the scholarship is a springboard to help her achieve her dreams of becoming an art teacher. In his speech, Mr Jamie Teo, Vice-President of NAK and Chairman of the Donation & Charity Sub-Committee, said that NAK is honoured to support NAFA in cultivating the next generation of artists through the scholarship.
