Bridging Gaps With Insights From the BrightSparks Survey
The BrightSparks Scholarship & Higher Education Fair coincides with the recent release of the 2024 BrightSparks Scholarship & Education Survey, which highlights critical challenges in students’ educational and career planning. Key findings revealed that 61% of top Junior College (JC) and International Baccalaureate (IB) students have limited exposure to scholarship opportunities, with 55% of them citing the lack of information on jobs linked to scholarships.
Despite these challenges, the survey also underscores BrightSparks’ strong position as the leading source for scholarship information, with 92% of top JC/IB students selecting it as their preferred platform for scholarship decisions.
“We are deeply committed to addressing the needs of students and providing them with the platform to navigate the scholarship and higher education landscape,” said Vinay Dua, Managing Director of Kariera Group Singapore. “Our fairs create a platform for students to interact directly with scholarship and higher education providers, bridging the gaps identified in our survey. We strive to ensure that students have the access to the resources, insights, and opportunities they need to make bold decisions about their educational and career paths.”
