Ang Zyn Yee is one of the two recipients of the President’s Scholarship (PSC) this year.
She was from Hwa Chong Institution and will go to Brown University in the United States, where she will study economics and statistics.
Ms Ang became curious about the work done by the Singapore armed forces when she signed up for a camp run by the Defence Ministry when she was 17. She liked the experience so much that she has since opted for a career in the Republic of Singapore Navy. In her Officer Cadet School course, she was awarded the Sword of Honour.
Ms Ang said said: “I intend to dabble in subjects like politics, computer science and history to get a diversity of experiences and perspectives.”
