I will always remember the day I received an email in 2019 informing me that I had been awarded a scholarship by Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS).
"I was homeless before and people helped me. So I want to give back and to do something for them." - Roslina Toh
When Malaysia closed its borders to control the spread of COVID-19 last March, our Social Work undergraduate Roslina knew she had to step in to do something. Leading a team of about 200 volunteers from various churches, they spent almost every night looking for people who were stranded and sleeping rough, to help them get a temporary roof over their heads.

From a University reject to the founder of an Edtech startup that makes learning accessible to children around the world, this is the journey of Edwin Ho Yuan Yi, 29, Bachelor of Science in Finance graduate.
For over five years, Edwin had applied to various universities but was rejected multiple times until he was accepted by SUSS in 2017. Empathising with those who face similar challenges in their road to education, Edwin conceived the idea of enabling learning for students in areas with poor connectivity, allowing them to cope with academic demands during the pandemic 😷.
He is currently piloting their product with NGOs and schools in South Africa, Kenya and Thailand. His brainchild has earned him the StartupSG Founder Grant of S$50,000 and he has since launched several social initiatives for underprivileged children.
Well done, Edwin, and Congratulations on your graduation! 👏
