“My LSE experience thus far has been fulfilling and challenging. The exposure to global issues has
prompted me to recalibrate my perceptions of the world. It has shaped my thoughts and made me a
more curious, engaged individual. The Trust scholarship has lifted a tremendous financial burden off
my family and given me the opportunity to study overseas in my dream university. I come from a
single-income home. My 61-year-old father has been working in Indonesia for 17 years, and he
shuttles between Singapore and Jakarta every week for work. He now works part-time in his
company, and would like to retire soon. Given his current job arrangement and impending retirement,
supporting my overseas studies would have put a huge strain on my family’s finances.
Being part of the LSE Singapore Trust scholarship community has also been a blessing. We are united
by the fact that we have all been recipients of a generous gift of goodwill, and it is heartening to know
that this community constantly looks out for each other.”
Regine Law Qin Wen, Bachelor of Laws (Class of 2019)
“Being in the LSE has opened doors for me, and it is undeniable that studying here will continue to be
integral to my career. I am truly grateful to the Singapore LSE Trust for this opportunity to support not
just my family but also my community back home in Singapore.
I am truly glad that I did not have to choose between my quality of education or financial security as
the past three years have shown me that this opportunity is absolutely priceless. This scholarship was
not just about the money, but also a vote of confidence in my abilities and I am very thankful.”
Reichel Jenifer, BSc in Economics (Class of 2017)
“At the LSE, I had the opportunity to learn Economics from some of the most influential scholars. I
hope to follow in the footsteps of the intellectual titans I have met at the LSE, and become an
economist who can contribute to policy debates.
The Trust scholarship has made possible my dream of studying at the LSE. Coming from a family of
humble financial means, I could not have imagined going abroad to pursue my undergraduate – and
now postgraduate – education in one of the world’s most prestigious universities. On my father’s
repairman salary, even fees in local schools would have been a stretch, much less in far-off London.
The scholarship opened a door that would otherwise remain locked, providing me with an
irreplaceable experience and an invaluable degree.”
