Six undergraduates at SMU’s School of Information Systems (SIS) will each receive S$30,000 over three years, as well as internship placements at PayPal. Commenting on the scholarship opportunity, SMU SIS Dean Pang Hwee Hwa said: “The scholarship will support students to specialise in the financial technology, cybersecurity or business analytics tracks in our BSc-Information Systems programme. The scholars will have the opportunity to participate in creating fintech solutions with our research centres, as well as through interning with PayPal.”
