On 22 February 2026, the Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan Singapore introduced the “Academic Diligence Award” under the Poit Ip Foundation, allocating S$50,000 annually to support students of Teochew descent.
This initiative was spearheaded by Mr. Neo Sing Hwee, Vice-President of the association and Chairman of the Academic Diligence Award Organising Committee. He said “Education is a bridge between our cultural heritage and future. Through the Academic Diligence Award, we hope to ease the financial burden on students from lower-income families, enabling them to focus more fully on their studies.”
