EDUCATIONAL bursaries now encompass more than cash handouts.

They cover supplementary learning, allowing needy students access to field trips, museum tours and tuition. This week, the Hong Leong Foundation gave $500,000 to enrichment centre MindChamps to provide a year’s free tuition – with the Primary School Leaving Examination in mind – to 60 primary 5 pupils from families whose monthly household income is about $2,000.
