On July 27, another cohort of young Singaporeans received their A*Star scholarships for undergraduate, postgraduate and postdoctoral education. They join over 1,400 who have received scholarships over the years. Of these, about 800 are still pursuing their education, while 600 have been deployed. They have a bright future ahead of them, as underlined by Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry) S. Iswaran during the event, as "research and the innovation it fosters will play an even more significant role in positioning Singapore's economy for the future". But we all know it goes beyond research talent.
