that cover the three-year fees for five deserving
students entering the newly-launched Gerontological

the course which is the first in Singapore to be conceptualised in response to the rapidly growing
silver generation and the ensuing burgeoning economic

closely with the Centre For Seniors, the Council For
Third Age and the Ministry of Community Development,
