Grants & Other Funds

Grants & Other Funds at NUS Law

Grants may be set up to provide students with additional financial help for living and study expenses (over and above a bursary), or for participation in overseas exchange programmes, mooting and other competitions or internships. Such donations pave the way for students to make the most of their law school experience through greater opportunities and exposure.

The following grants and other funds have been established at NUS Law:

The family of the late NUS Law alumnus Mr Bennett Lam '86 established this fund in his memory. Two book grants valued at S$500.00 each will be awarded annually to benefit law students in need.

In conjunction with their 30th anniversary reunion on 14 Nov 2009, the NUS Law Class of 1979 raised funds to create the Class of 1979 Grant. The grant aims to help fund NUS Law students’ fees and expenses for their participation in legal conferences and competitions, overseas internships or environmental law related projects, provided these have a focus on environmental law, policy, governance and management.

The Class of 1980 came together to raise funds for the Class of 1980 Book Grant. One book grant valued at S$500.00 will be given to one recipient of financial aid in NUS Law to assist in the purchase of textbooks and other necessities.

The NUS Law Class of 1984 established a grant which aims to help fund NUS Law students’ attendance at legal conferences and competitions, whether local or overseas, as well as overseas internships.

The NUS Law Class of 1992 established a fund to support pro bono initiatives by NUS Law students to mark their 20th anniversary. They hope the fund will encourage more NUS Law students to be innovative in finding ways in which they can be of service to the general public.

At the 10th anniversary reunion of the NUS Law Class of 1995, the class raised funds to establish the Class of 1995 Award which aims to help fund NUS Law students’ attendance at legal conferences and competitions.

This fund was established by the graduating NUS Law Class of 2013 with a significant contribution from the proceeds of their Law IV musical. The funds contributed will go towards helping financially needy NUS Law students.

In recognition of the benefits of pro bono and community service by NUS Law students and to further develop this culture in NUS Law, the Class of 2017 decided to use the proceeds from their Law IV 2017 Production to set up the Class of 2017 Pro Bono Grant at NUS Law.

This fund will help support NUS Law’s mooting activities and was made possible with a gift from the family of the late Mr Harry L. Wee.

The Grant was established for NUS Law students who have been accepted to the ten-month International Court of Justice Judicial Fellowship Programme or the twelve-month Permanent Court of Arbitration Fellowship Programme, so that they can benefit from the opportunities provided by the fellowship without being held back by financial constraints.

To commemorate the significant contributions of late NUS Law alumna Ms Isabel Chng ’90 to the Singapore patent system, and to celebrate her zest in life, her friends and colleagues have established a book grant in remembrance of her. The fund will be used to aid needy NUS Law students who have taken, or will be taking up an intellectual property law course (preferably patents related) at NUS Law.

In conjunction with their 40th anniversary reunion on 15 September 2018, the NUS Law Class of 1978 raised funds to create the Law Class of 1978 Grant. The Grant aims to provide additional financial assistance to needy students at NUS Law.

These two funds were established at the initiative of Associate Professor Victor V. Ramraj who wished to support student exchange activities to Canada. Funds were contributed by Prof Ramraj as well as his friends, ex-students and colleagues.

This Grant was established by NUS Law alumnus Mr Mohamed Faizal Mohamed Abdul Kadir (Class of 2005) to help lower-income law students. The Phoenix Grant was so named to encourage students to rise above their challenging financial circumstances, and was also inspired by the symbol of Raffles Hall where Mr Faizal stayed as an undergraduate.

The late Subhas Anandan (1947-2015) was known as a champion of pro bono work. He was also a known champion of pro bono assistance in criminal matters, particularly in the establishment of the Association of Criminal Lawyers of Singapore and the free legal clinics and legal representation offered through the association. RHTLaw Asia LLP established this award in honour of their founding partner Mr Subhas Anandan and to continue his work.
