The bursary was renamed to NUS Sociology Alumni Bursary Fund in 2016, and <strong>NUS Sociology and Anthropology Alumni Bursary<\/strong> in 2025. This was done in the hope of inviting the larger Sociology and Anthropology family to contribute to the fund so that it can continue to grow in order to reach out to more financially needy students. Since its inception, the fund has awarded at least <strong data-start=\"477\" data-end=\"504\">two bursaries each year<\/strong>, ensuring that financial challenges do not hinder students from pursuing their academic and career aspirations.\n<a href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/socanth\/nus-sociology-alumni-bursary-fund-initiated-by-pioneer-class-of-69\/\">https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/socanth\/nus-sociology-alumni-bursary-fund-initiated-by-pioneer-class-of-69\/<\/a>\nOver the past decade, thanks to the generosity of our alumni and donors, the fund has provided <strong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"737\">$60,000 in support<\/strong>, helping students continue their education. These bursaries have made a tangible impact, allowing students to focus on their studies, pursue meaningful research, and immerse themselves in the rich learning experiences that define our department. Some have gone on to advocate for marginalized communities, contribute to policy changes, and drive social impact-all because they had the support they needed at a critical time.\n<strong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1215\">Your generosity can make a difference.<\/strong> By donating, you&#8217;re not just providing financial aid-you&#8217;re investing in the next generation of changemakers, critical thinkers, and passionate scholars.\nJoin us in ensuring that financial need never stands in the way of a student&#8217;s education. Every contribution, big or small, helps sustain this legacy of support.\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/give.nus.edu.sg\/fassnsabf?src=AG25_EM_AGDUMA2608&amp;_gl=1*n8s5t8*_ga*MTYwODAyODg3Ny4xNzQ5MDg4MTQx*_ga_5X8S3VETQH*czE3NDk2MjA2MDYkbzEkZzAkdDE3NDk2MjA2MDYkajYwJGwwJGgw\">Click here to donate!<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"void(0)\" title=\"Click Here\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"NUS Sociology and Anthropology Alumni Bursary\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNUS Sociology and Anthropology Alumni Bursary\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/socanth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/07\/Artboard-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3682\" height=\"1842\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Join us as we celebrate <strong>60 years of Sociology and Anthropology at NUS<\/strong> at our 60th <strong>Anniversary Gala Dinner<\/strong>!<br \/>It&#8217;ll be a night of meaningful connections, celebration, and giving back to support future generations of students.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc5 <strong>Date:<\/strong> Friday, 21 November 2025<br \/>\ud83d\udccd <strong>Venue:<\/strong> NUS Guild House Ballroom<br \/>\ud83d\udd61 <strong>Time:<\/strong> 6:30 PM &#8211; 10:00 PM<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f <strong>$88<\/strong> per seat | <strong>$800<\/strong> for a table of 10<br \/>All proceeds go to the <strong>NUS Sociology and Anthropology Alumni Bursary Award<\/strong> \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>How to Get Your Tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Click on the <strong>&#8220;One-Time&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0button (see screenshot for reference).<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>You will then see two options: <strong>$88<\/strong>\u00a0or <strong>$800<\/strong>.
