Fast Facts
The SAWL Scholarship Fund aka “Tan Ah Tah – SAWL Fund” (“the Fund”) was established in December 1987 by the Singapore Association of Women Lawyers (SAWL) in memory of the late Honourable Mr Justice Tan Ah Tah, who was one of the most supportive High Court judges of SAWL in the early years of SAWL. The Fund was registered as a Charity with the Commissioner of Charities since 1987 and in 2009, achieved the Institution of Public Character (IPC) status.
The Fund is in aid of education for physically disabled students. It is governed by Trust Deeds and administered by six trustees.
The scholarships are to be awarded to candidates who must be either citizens or permanent residents of Singapore and physically handicapped (including one who is from any approved charity as defined under the Income Tax Act or any society duly registered under the Societies Act) who are in need of financial assistance.
