Harun Ghani Education Fund (HGEF) Bursary

The Harun Ghani Education Fund (HGEF) Bursary was set up in 2005 to honour the late Mr Harun Ghani’s contributions to prevent drug abuse and rehabilitate drug offenders in Singapore.
As a former teacher, Mr Harun had a vested interest to ensure children of drug offenders continue to attend school and progress in their education. HGEF serves to support Mr Harun’s mission to help children from families affected by drug abuse to rebuild their lives through education.

HGEF aims to motivate students who have an interest in learning to complete a minimum post-secondary education through HGEF bursaries.
