Dear Lem Scholarship and Award Applicant,

 

Have you ever wondered what is the secret for success in life?  Why have some people become professionals like doctors, engineers, or prominent politicians, while others are stuck as cashiers, barely scraping by while still others are perfectly content to sit at home collecting welfare?

 

There are many factors involved in a person’s success and each case is different.  A common ingredient for success is motivation.  Successful people are always motivated. They have the courage to take-on the challenges in their daily lives and are willing to do whatever it takes to conquer these obstacles.  For these people, their challenges will be ongoing throughout their lives. As each task is completed, the next one will follow close behind. The successful person will be able to focus on continually rising to the next level of difficulty.

 

The Lem Si Ho Tong’s Scholarship Committee was first formed in 1979.  Although it has recently merged with the youth committee, its goal to motivate our young members has not changed.  The ultimate goal of the Scholarship Committee is to motivate our young members to challenge the difficulties they face with their best effort, always. Over our 21 years of operation, the committee is proud to report that many of the past recipients have become prominent professionals. If we were able to provide some inspiration and motivation in shaping the careers of our youth, then our countless hours of volunteer work would have been well spent. 

 

Once again it is that time of year to send in your application for the Lem Si Ho Tong scholarship and awards.  Remember you must have participated in two youth events in the past year to qualify.  Our intention in setting this rule is genuine and pure.  We just want to get to know you, our future members and quite possibly our future board members. Also, we want you to get to know your tong and the benefits that are waiting at your disposal    

Good luck to everyone.  Hope to see you all at the podium on August 27.

 

Yours sincerely,
