The Peter Lim Scholarship ceremony was held yesterday, 10th July 2023, to award the recipients for this scholarship. The Singapore Olympic Foundation (SOF) set up the SOF-Peter Lim Scholarship with a S$10-million donation from philanthropist and sports enthusiast, Mr Peter Lim. The gift remains the single largest donation in Singapore from an individual towards sports development. The driving force behing the Scholarship is the desire to ensure that no promising young athlete who is committed to chasing his or her sporting dreams, should be hampered by financial restraints.
The Scholarship aims to (1) help young deserving athletes from financially challenged background to achieve their sporting goals, and (2) support young high performing athletes under 18 years old to pursue sporting excellence in their chosen fields.
At Singapore Gymnastics, we would like to congratulate the following gymnasts for receiving the Scholarship:
- Phoenix Chong
- Cleo Chew
- Xavier Pang
- Leah Chew
- Emma Yap
