TO LEAVE a lasting legacy of the Youth Olympic Games (YOG), Singapore will award scholarships to outstanding young athletes from around the world to study here.
Called the Singapore Youth Olympic Scholarship, recipients will get a fully-subsidised academic and sports education at the Singapore Sports School for between four and six years.
Organisers declined to reveal how much the scholarships are worth, but unsubsidised school fees at the Sports School for foreigners cost about $25,000 a year. Singaporeans pay about $6,000 a year.
Dr Southanom Inthavong, deputy secretary-general of Laos’ National Olympic Council, said this is a welcome boost for athletes from less-developed nations.
‘We have plans to send our sportsmen overseas, but we are short of funding,’ he said. ‘A scholarship like this will help, especially for the future.’
The government-funded scholarships, which will be given out once every four years during the summer YOG, is open to all 205 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) worldwide.
