VIKRAM NAIR
FROM: SINGAPORE
COURSE OF STUDY: LAW

My father is a lawyer and my mother, a The Scholarship helped provided me with an

psychologist; both are second-generation
Singaporeans. I grew up in Singapore in the
‘80s and ‘90s, studying in local schools.
I found out about the Jardine Scholarship
when I was at my junior college. The principal
said it was a scholarship worth considering
for those interested in studying at Oxford
and Cambridge. It is a generous, no-strings-
attached scholarship and the effort that the
Jardine Foundation makes to keep in touch
with former scholars is admirable.
excellent education at Cambridge, which opened
many doors career-wise. Being a Jardine alumni
is an honour and a privilege that I am grateful for.
It is deeply humbling when I look back, that the
Jardine Foundation was kind enough to grant a
scholarship to a young National Serviceman who
had to get special permission to take time off to
attend the interviews.
 “IT HAS ALSO ALLOWED ME GIVE BACK
BY SUPPORTING NEW MEMBERS OF
THE FOUNDATION AND IN BROADER
OUTREACH PROGRAMMES.”

ELEANOR FUNG
FROM: HONG KONG
COURSE OF STUDY: NATURAL SCIENCES

I come from a typical middle-class family during my time as an undergraduate allowed

in Hong Kong, and completed both primary
and secondary schooling in Hong Kong
before applying to university at the end of my
A-levels. The opportunity offered by the Jardine
Foundation to study at Cambridge University
has shaped who I am today.
Not only did the programme provide financial
support to study at a renowned university, the
Foundation also offered mentorship by senior
leaders from the Group and current Scholars
and alumni from the programme. Additionally,
the internship opportunities the Group offered
me to gain deeper insight into the company and
operations across Asia Pacific.
Being a Jardine Scholar has been an honour.
The support of the Foundation leadership and
the friendships I have made through the alumni
network have enriched my experience. It has
also allowed me give back by supporting new
members of the Foundation and in broader
outreach programmes, including encouraging
more women to study science, technology,
engineering and mathematics at university.
