NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) recently received a $150,000 endowed gift to establish the Masonic Charitable Fund – Ronald Ng Lodge Mt Faber Bursary. A gift agreement was signed on 26 October 2022 by Dr Brian Shegar, Chairman of Masonic Charitable Fund (MCF), Dr Ronald Ng, senior mason and donor for the Masonic Charitable Fund – Ronald Ng Lodge Mt Faber Bursary and Prof Chong Yap Seng, Dean of NUS Medicine.

The gift will enable the School to award up to two bursaries, of up to $6,000 each, annually, to help financially needy Singaporean students.

“The Masonic Charitable Fund and Dr Ronald Ng’s intention to help disadvantaged students with this gift is truly honourable and will be important for NUS Medicine, as we prepare our undergraduates to be the competent, compassionate and future-ready doctors that Singapore needs,” said Prof Chong.

NUS Medicine deeply appreciates the MCF and Dr Ronald Ng’s generous support to provide bursaries, which will help deserving needy students to pursue their dreams and serve Singapore as caring and capable doctors.

The Masonic Charitable Fund which has established several endowments with NUS College of Design and Engineering, is pleased to undertake its first endowment with the NUS Medicine, to provide bursaries to financially disadvantaged medical undergraduates.”
