AMP Bursary Becomes a Driving Force for Needy Students to Continue Excelling

Ms. Sia Jingyun Erna Sharida received the AMP Singapore Education Bursary in 2014 and 2015, which served as a crucial stepping stone for her continuing education. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University at Buffalo (through SIM Global Education) and currently works as a Senior Research Assistant at the National Institute of Education (NIE).

She lost her father in 2005, which led her mother, Ms. Suriya Hidayati Mopim, to become the main breadwinner for the family, raising three children. Her mother worked hard to improve her skills by attending various courses and eventually secured a job as an infant educarer. Financial support from relatives also helped ease the family’s burden.

During her time at university, Ms. Erna used the AMP bursary to pay for textbooks and other study necessities. This support helped lighten her mother’s financial load and enabled Ms. Erna to complete her education. Currently, she also volunteers at several local charitable organizations when she has the time.

Looking ahead, Ms. Erna hopes to pursue her studies at the master’s level while continuing to advance her career and maintain her commitment to helping the community. She also highlights the importance of bursaries like those provided by AMP, which create opportunities for individuals from less privileged backgrounds to progress in their education.

Dermasiswa AMP jadi pendorong pelajar memerlukan terus cemerlang

Cik Sia Jingyun Erna Sharida menerima Dermasiswa Pendidikan AMP Singapura pada 2014 dan 2015, yang menjadi tonggak utama dalam meneruskan pengajiannya. Beliau menamatkan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sastera (Psikologi) di Universiti Buffalo (melalui SIM Global Education), dan kini bertugas sebagai Penolong Kanan Penyelidik di Institut Pendidikan Nasional (NIE).

Beliau kehilangan bapanya pada 2005, menyebabkan ibunya, Cik Suriya Hidayati Mopim, mengambil peranan sebagai pencari nafkah utama untuk membesarkan tiga anak. Ibunya gigih meningkatkan kemahiran diri dengan menyertai pelbagai kursus dan akhirnya mendapat pekerjaan sebagai pendidik-pengasuh bayi (‘infant educarer’). Sokongan kewangan saudara-mara juga membantu meringankan beban mereka.

Sepanjang tempoh pengajian, Cik Erna menggunakan dermasiswa AMP bagi membayar buku teks dan kelengkapan belajar. Pemberian dermasiswa ini menolong meringankan tanggungan ibunya dan memungkinkan Cik Erna menyempurnakan pengajian sehingga ke menara gading. Beliau kini turut aktif menjadi sukarelawan di beberapa badan kebajikan setempat apabila mempunyai kelapangan.

Memandang ke hadapan, Cik Erna berhasrat menyambung pengajian ke peringkat sarjana sambil terus memajukan kerjayanya, di samping mengekalkan semangat membantu masyarakat yang memerlukan. Beliau juga menegaskan kepentingan dermasiswa seperti yang disediakan oleh AMP untuk memberi peluang kepada golongan yang kurang berkemampuan untuk maju dalam pendidikan.
