Don’t hold back your dreams of a university education simply for financial reasons.

Step into the arches of your aspirations, and let us open the door for you.

At Quantedge Foundation, we believe that no deserving student should have to give up on a chance to realise their full potential just because of financial reasons.

With University Access, we're breaking down the barriers to higher education. We guarantee full financial aid because we believe in a Singapore where everyone deserves a chance to thrive. Where you start shouldn't dictate how far you can go.

University Access. Opening doors for our youth since 2017.
So, take your next step. Best foot forward.
(We'll foot the bill.)

We want to send a message (to all Singaporean students) that they <span class="text-special">should never be shy</span> or have second thoughts about going to university (because of financial circumstances), as long as they qualify.

A powerful social leveller, university education can broaden horizons and open doors to <span class="text-special">opportunities that significantly improve life outcomes</span> and enable long-term upward social mobility. No student should have to pass up on this transformative experience solely for financial reasons.

What is clear is that ensuring <span class="text-special">access to quality education</span> remains a key enabler of our meritocracy, which continues to be valued in our social compact, even as we discuss how it should evolve. At the same time, we all believe that one's socioeconomic background need not be an inhibitor for one to succeed in Singapore.
