The US-Singapore Summer Exchange Scholarship Programme was launched on 15 March. The scholarship programme was first announced during Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s Official Visit to the US in August 2016, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the US. The inaugural recipients of the US-Singapore Summer Exchange Scholarship embarked on their summer exchange programmes in May 2017.
