To provide underprivileged Singapore youths with academic potential access to quality accountancy education through financial and non-financial assistance, so they can maximise their potential.
ISCA Cares aims to complement existing government schemes by addressing the tuition fees and daily basic needs and any funding gaps.
- Target Beneficiaries
ISCA Cares seeks to support underprivileged Singaporean youths with academic potential by creating a more conducive environment for their accountancy education. This support allows them to focus on their studies, pursue their aspirations, and reach their full potential. In turn, they can positively transform their lives and be inspired to contribute to this cause when they achieve success.
- Donors as Nurturers
On top of donations to help subsidise tuition fees and basic living expenses, donors can also serve as mentors, guiding beneficiaries towards their accountancy aspirations. Institutional and corporate donors can also offer valuable internship opportunities for relevant work experience. This interaction fosters a deeper sense of commitment and connection between donors and beneficiaries.
Each mentor will be paired with at most two mentees. This is to ensure that both mentors and mentees will benefit from the programme with the former being able to provide adequate mentoring to their mentees, and likewise the mentees receiving adequate attention from their mentor.
- Mentoring programme will span for a year.
- Duration and frequency of meetings can be separately agreed between each mentor-mentee pair.
- Each meeting will last approximately 1 hour.
Matching the Mentor and Mentee
- Mentor and Mentee will be matched by the ISCA Cares Team.
