27 Jun 2024 - A*STAR Science Award (Upper Secondary)

The A*STAR Science Award (Upper Secondary) is a prestigious award in Singapore that recognizes outstanding achievements in science and technology among upper secondary students. It is administered by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), a leading research organization in Singapore.  This award is highly competitive, and only a select few students are chosen as recipients each year.

Today the teacher told Javier that he had been selected for this award and was given an acceptance form to fill.  When we went through the form on the eligibility, we realized that he was probably not eligible because he was already a recipient for the DSTA Young Defence Scientists Programme (YDSP) Scholarship.  Apparently, a student cannot receive both of these awards at the same time.

He's ok with it, at least he now knows that his hard work had been recognized by his teachers.  :-)
