T W HINCH SCHOLARSHIP FUND
This fund was set up in the early 1950s by the OBA to be awarded to a teacher in
any of the ACS schools. The sum awarded is not large ($1,500 - $2,000) but it is
nevertheless considered an honour to receive it. It is usually given to a teacher
who intends to go aboard for a particular course of study and the recipient is expected
to teach in a ACS school upon returning to Singapore. Mr. Ho Yee Cheong of ACS (Independent)
was awarded $2,000 under the T W Hinch Scholarship Fund in 1998.
