The Co-operative Scholarship

PROFILES

Since its launch in 2008, there are seven Co-operative Scholars who are currently pursuing a variety of courses at the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University.

Being the first batch, Irving and Candy completed their first year of Scholarship in 2009 and served a three-month internship with SNCF during the last University vacation.

Come, meet and talk to the Scholars.

"I took up the Co-operative Scholarship to challenge myself with a meaningful career and to promote how feasible it is for business enterprises to financially adapt to the co-operative model, to show how it is possible to make profits while doing social good."

“It is a privilege and a blessing because it is a way of recognising the hard work and efforts that I had put in the past few years, recognising me as an individual who would be able to help and add value to the Co-operative Movement.”

Course: Accountancy (National Technological University, 2009/2010)
Temasek Polytechnic Alumnus

"A Co-op is a business enterprise that values its stakeholders. This is an effective model because it strategically generates long-term value of the company. The Co-operative Movement is an example for all organisations to follow. Its focus on the community is one that concurs with my belief in contributing to the society, so integrating in a co-operative would be relatively easy for me.

Course: Accountancy (National Technological University, 2009/2010)
Hwa Chong Institution Alumnus

“The Co-operative Movement produces a society which genuinely looks after both worker and societal welfare. It has to continue to address changing social needs to stay relevant and continue to reach out to society through its different causes and on this note, more youths should be engaged by increasing awareness, as they can provide valuable inputs.

As a prospective accountancy graduate, I will probably be joining the finance department, which plays an important role in the co-operative model as good funds management is necessary so as to fulfil the co-operative objectives of self-help and mutual-help.

“I see the Co-operative Movement as a way of helping the less privileged, so I believe it will be a rewarding and satisfying career. I noticed that many people are not aware of it, so I will play a part in promoting the Co-operative Movement to the public to ensure that more people can be involved and more people can benefit from it.”
