The Philip Yeo Young Scholars Award
Being a student at Oodles Learning is not just about scoring A/A*. Our students are nurtured beyond academic performance. We believe that for them to scale to greater altitude they will need to be instilled the right attitude and develop quality attributes in the way they learn and live life.
The Philip Yeo (PY) Young Scholars Award, which is exclusively designed for Oodles Learning is an annual award administered by Economic Development Innovation Singapore (EDIS) to recognize our students for their exemplary performance holistically and encourage them to pursue great heights in all their endeavors.
The Patron, Mr Philip Yeo (Chairman of EDIS) is known for championing people development and education in Singapore having created scholarship programs in the organizations he helmed. This includes the Economic Development Board and A*STAR where he produced about 2000 scholars in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). After developing generations of leaders in his over 40 years of public service, Philip Yeo continues to do what he does best – invest in the development of people and talent – through the PY Young Scholars Award.
As a final boost of motivation before our students move on to the next phase of their education life, one P6 student across our 11 Oodles Learning centres island-wide gets a chance to receive this prestigious award annually. The recipient of this award must show commendable attributes of perseverance, discipline and humility on top of his excellent academic performance.
Inspiring our students to develop “The Right Attitude to Scale Great Altitude” to make a difference at a greater level is the goal for Oodles Learning because Scholars to us represent more than academic performance.
