SINGAPORE MUSLIM EDUCATION FUND (SMEF)

AMP acts as the custodian of the Singapore Muslim Education Fund (SMEF), which was established by a group of activists in 2013 to address the under-representation of Malay/Muslims in the Law and Medicine fields.

Today, the Fund aims to provide financial assistance for students pursuing medicine degree studies overseas through through the SMEF Medicine Scholarship. It also aims to create awareness of the importance of pursuing these degree programmes to uplift the community by providing education advisory and coaching to the students and their parents on various university options available.

At the same time, SMEF also recognises the efforts of students who may struggle financially and face multiple challenges in their lives yet rise above the adversities to pursue an education or those who show outstanding leadership qualities in a uniformed group CCA through the SMEF-Lieutenant Adnan Award.

The SMEF-Professor Ahmad Ibraim Scholarship champions students pursuing law degree at overseas universities recognised by the Ministry of Law.

The SMEF-Rufaydah Nursing Award launched in 2020, recognises the importance of nurses on the front lines of care especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This award will be awarded to full-time diploma nursing students at local polytechnics who are passionate in their field, and portray academic excellence, strong leadership qualities and deep interest to serve the community.

Each successful applicant will receive $5,000 (for SMEF Medicine Scholarship), $2,000 (SMEF-Professor Ahmad Ibrahim Scholarship) and $700 (for SMEF-Lieutenant Adnan Award or SMEF-Rufaydah Nursing Award).
