2022 The BeBetter Scholarship |2021-2022 Scholarships Grants

Mr Nicky Tan started the BeBetter Foundation to unearth gifted underprivileged children who will advance Singapore and help others.

From humble beginnings, Mr Tan moved to Singapore in the 1980s. Through the opportunities that Singapore provided, and a healthy dose of good fortune, he was able to set up BeBetter Foundation.

The BeBetter Foundation was set up to honour Mr Tan Kok Wah and Madam Ho Tee Min, his late parents, and to enable others from humble backgrounds to achieve extraordinary things.

The BeBetter scholarship is a scholarship that seeks more than scholars. We’re looking for someone who will benefit from our help and someone whose success will benefit Singapore and others.
