LEE KONG CHIAN SCHO L ARS’

PRO GR AM M E (LKCSP)


Even with bursaries and my

part-time jobs, I was unsure if I

would have enough money to

cover the cost of my university

education. Now with 100% of

my SMU tuition fees covered,

SMU Access allows me to put

more time into my studies and

pursue my interest in financial

risk analysis as a career.
