Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund is an important resource for the advancement of the School by supporting student projects, events, conferences and workshops, innovative programmes and research projects. It was set up in 2006 with the objective to benefit students and faculty of the Wee Kim Wee School.

The School administers eleven of the 31 different funds that it benefits from.

 

The establishment of the Wee Kim Wee Endowed Professorship in Communication Studies and the appointment of eminent professors at the school would be able to initiate more research and study into communication in the areas of journalism, publishing, electronic and broadcast media, public and promotional communication and communication research, to cope with the needs of a rapidly advancing information society. It helps the school to become a centre of excellence in communication teaching, research and service to the industry.
Funds raised will remain intact in perpetuity. Its distributable income will support scholarships, bursaries, innovative programmes, fellowships, professorships, and niches of excellence at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.

The Shaw Foundation Pte was established in 1957 by the late Tan Sri Dr Runme Shaw, together with his brother Sir Runrun Shaw, who believed education was more important than money. It is one of the largest charitable organisations in the world and has donated over S$245 million through the years, with approximately half going to education, and the rest to welfare, medicine, arts and cultural institutions.

The main aims is to advance and improve the standard of human life and social well being by fostering, developing and improving education, founding and maintaining of scholarships.

  • Research projects (e.g. Senior citizens’ use of the internet or the way that older people are portrayed in the media and its impact on public perception of ageing and older people)

The main aims for developing these projects are:
  • to engage the students’ interest and understanding in the issues of ageing
  • to promote the appreciation of the critical role that media plays in influencing public mindsets about ageing and older people as well as the significance of its impact
  • to cultivate a more balanced and less ageist perception and attitude towards the aged and the concept of ageing
