Overview

The President’s Challenge Fellowships aim to develop new approaches in the social sector; support individuals bouncing back from major setbacks; and to recognise outstanding career achievements among ITE graduates.

The President’s Challenge will be partnering with several philanthropic and impact partners in enabling the Fellowships.

Civic Action

Empowers seasoned social sector professionals, through fulltime and part-time sabbaticals over 1-2 years, to deepen their expertise and develop new approaches for achieving social good. The Fellowships are also open to those from other sectors who have been active volunteers in the social field.

Supported by: Quantedge Foundation, SMU, and SUSS

Springboard

Empowers individuals bouncing back from challenging circumstances, enabling them to embark on new career paths. It will support individuals who have faced major disadvantages or setbacks in life, and are determined to overcome them, by helping them embark on new pathways through education and skills or entrepreneurship training.

Supported by: SIM, Temasek and Temasek Foundation

ITE Inspire

Recognises individuals who have achieved remarkable career or entrepreneurial success following a technical education background, so as to motivate youth, the ITE community, and others in the community to develop themselves to the fullest. Those chosen for this Fellowship will serve as role models and mentors for others walking a similar path.
