BrightSparks, Singapore's leading scholarship and higher education portal, announced the success of its Scholarship & Higher Education Fair 2024, held on July 27th at Summit 2, Suntec Singapore. This year's event marked the anticipated return of a physical, face-to-face fair after a five-year hiatus bringing together a vibrant crowd of over 600 participants.

The fair's theme, 'Live Big,' was introduced to inspire attendees to pursue limitless academic and professional possibilities. The event was a comprehensive platform for students and parents to connect with leading scholarship and higher education providers.

During the fair, participants engaged with professionals from diverse industries, received expert guidance on navigating scholarship applications and gained valuable networking opportunities with higher education and scholarship providers.

"We are heartened by the strong turnout at the BrightSparks Scholarship & Higher Education Fair 2024," said Vinay Dua, Managing Director of Kariera Group Singapore. "The return to an in-person format provides attendees with a valuable, hands-on networking experience, connecting them with a wide array of opportunities and resources essential to empower them in their scholarship and higher education journey."

The event featured 15 exhibitors and a series of insightful seminars. These included sessions from Changi Airport Group on scholarship and career opportunities, highlighting how individuals can make magic happen in every aspect of the business. In a panel discussion, Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) Scholars shared their scholarship journeys and work experiences, showcasing opportunities for growth and achievement.

In addition, attendees also gained valuable insights about making a positive impact in the social service sector and learned about the opportunities provided by Social Service Scholarships administered by the National Council of Social Service. Crimson Education also offered essential tips on applying for scholarships to top universities in the United States and United Kingdom.

"I attended the BrightSparks Fair to learn about the various scholarship opportunities being offered," Granwyn Tan, a second-year Junior College student, shared. "The DSTA and CSIT scholarships are particularly appealing because of my background in engineering and computer science. These scholarships align well with my interests and career goals, as they focus on advancing technology and cybersecurity in Singapore. I am eager to contribute to the technology sector and deepen my knowledge in these areas."

BrightSparks remains committed to enabling students to achieve their academic aspirations and providing comprehensive resources to navigate scholarship and higher education pathways. The success of this fair reinforces a strong foundation, further solidifying its vision as Singapore's top scholarship and higher education portal with more exciting offerings to come in the future.
