A strong accademic student, Ming-En's hardwork and dedication to
her studies showed through in her Bursury exams. Her strengths lay

Foundation Scholarship has given her a headstart in business. She
says that she gained a confidence in working environments which she
did not have prior. The mentoring component of the programme
also impacted Ming-En and she still keeps up with her Mentor
Melanie Smith.
