The SPSS aims to give recognition not only to students with outstanding academic performance, but also those with achievements and talents in other non-academic fields. It also aims to help attract outstanding local and non-local students to pursue studies in self-financing post-secondary programs. Congratulations to all our awardees on their great achievements!
