196 students received the Singapore-Industry Scholarship (SgIS) at the 2025 SgIS Award Ceremony on 29 July 2025, and Minister for Education, Mr Desmond Lee, gave out the scholarships at the ceremony.

Launched in 2012, the SgIS is the only scholarship offered in partnership between the Government and local industries. SgIS has established itself as one of the choice scholarships in Singapore, growing from 28 Sponsoring Organisations (SOs) in 2012 to 153 this year. The 153 SOs come from 16 key sectors, including biomedical and pharmaceuticals, electronics, engineering, lifestyle and food, and social services. Since its inception, the SgIS has awarded scholarships to more than 1,800 recipients.

The SOs' strong support for SgIS provides good career opportunities that will develop a strong Singaporean talent pipeline to support strategic sectors. The SgIS also highlights the importance the Government and local industries place on developing this pipeline of local talent that is essential for Singapore's economy and businesses in the long run.

By end-2025, more than 1,200 SgIS scholars would have graduated from university. They will be part of a sustainable pipeline of industry leaders who can drive Singapore's economic growth.
