SINGAPORE - Applications for the Association of Muslim Professionals' (AMP) enhanced Education Bursary are now open.
Successful applicants who are diploma students will receive a cash bursary of $500, while those studying for a degree will get $1,000.
The bursary was extended to include full-time diploma students, part-time and full-time undergraduates from approved education institutions in 2013.
According to a media release from AMP Singapore on Thursday, the bursary seeks to foster life-long learning, recognise academic achievement, and assist disadvantaged tertiary students in their pursuit of higher education.
Ms Syahidah Nafisah Zainuddin, 24, is the first graduate in her family and a recipient of the Education Bursary in 2013.
"I did not expect that I would be able to enter a university due to financial constraints," Ms Syahidah said. "The bursary has allowed me to focus on my studies and alleviate some of the financial burden on my family and me."
