• At the same time, they can undergo part-time diploma or degree studies subsidised by CAAS and the company.
• Institute of Technical Education and polytechnic students can apply.
• The scholarship is also open to new hires or those with less than 6 months of service at participating companies.
• CAAS has set aside S$900,000 to fund scholarships up to 31 May 2013.


2. Aviation Youth Outreach Seed Fund
• CAAS will co-fund projects that grow an interest and passion for aviation in youths.
• Projects must achieve key performance indicators set by CAAS.
• Any aviation company, association, student group of Institute of Higher Learning can apply.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
