University scholarships prove popular among students

An annual survey by BrightSparks, Singapore's largest scholarship and higher education media, has found some potential scholarship recipients to be grateful for the financial aid and others, more picky about their source of funding. The survey took place between March and April this year, with a total of 2,738 respondents participating in the 2012 BrightSparks Scholarship & Career Survey. Among the respondents, 1,533 are 'A' Level and IB diploma graduates, 650 are final year polytechnic students, and the remaining 555 are undergraduates in their first and second year of study at NUS, NTU and SMU.
