Introduction
Emeritus Professor Lee Hin Peng of the Department of Epidemiology & Public Health, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, served as Master of King Edward VII Hall from 1996 to 2005. He was well-loved for his leadership, his deep interest in students and his care and concern for them. Many student residents who have since left KEVII Hall after graduating from NUS continue to have high regard and respect for Prof Lee.
One of Prof Lee’s initiatives was the setting up of a bursary, the King Edward VII Hall Bursary Award (“the Award”) with the objective of providing deserving students who have limited financial resources a monetary award to assist them with their accommodation fees at KEVII. This is to enable them to benefit from a hostel life that promotes all-round student development in addition to academic achievements.
