of needy students will get more financial support: nus

NUS revealed that it would provide Singaporean students from the lowest-income families with higher bursaries following a recent comprehensive review of its financial aid schemes.

This comes after an NUS student under the school’s University Scholars’ Programme (USP) allegedly became the target of cyber-bullying after she questioned whether the USP has turned into a club for the elite.

In the article “Cyberbullying in NUS” published in online student newspaper The Kent Ridge Common (KRC) on Monday morning, writer Koh Choon Hwee said that Keira Chen, a USP student, has been called “stupid” and other names by her peers since writing articles in KRC about the honours programme.
