Since 1997, the Singapore Technologies Endowment Programme (STEP) has been building bridges among youths in Asia and contributing to their education.

In December 2009, 139 youths from ASEAN, China, India and Bhutan gathered in Singapore for its signature Sunburst Youth Camp. More than 1,500 youths have participated in the Camp over the last 12 years.

Into its second year, STEP’s Sunburst Scholarships supports 15 scholars from Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Vietnam in their undergraduate studies in universities and polytechnics in Singapore.
