SINGAPORE, Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BrightSparks, Singapore's leading scholarship and higher education portal, is excited to announce the BrightSparks Scholarship & Higher Education Fair 2025, set to take place on 15 February 2025 at Summit 1, Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition. Centred around the theme "Be YOU" and the empowering tagline "Be the Boldest Version of YOU", this year's event builds on the success of the 2024 edition and marks BrightSparks' second in-person fair since 2018.

The fair is designed to offer students a seamless and enriching experience, providing direct access to a wealth of scholarship and higher education opportunities. It also aims to inspire students to confidently pursue their academic and career aspirations.

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."
