Tanoto Foundation’s BEACON program, which stands for Be Empowered and Active to Contribute to the Nation, seeks to holistically develop the generation of leaders as future-ready global citizens who meaningfully contribute to their communities and countries. The program comprises structured leadership development training, opportunities for experiential learning, networking and community service, in addition to tuition grants via the scholarship.
BEACON has a structured leadership development program comprising training and workshops aimed at sharpening the soft and leader ship skills of Tanoto Scholars. Conducted by professional trainers, the program exposes scholars to broader concepts and cases in leadership and service. There is also an annual gathering for Tanoto Scholars past and present, in which scholars not only get to network but also hear from specially invited speakers who are leaders in the public service and private sector. The scholars also get to engage and network with a larger Tanoto scholars family globally through various platforms.
BEACON’s flagship annual scholar led community service Project Sukacita provides an invaluable experience for our Tanoto Scholars through the service of lesser privileged communities in Singapore and overseas. Every Project Sukacita delegation works closely with the Foundation and previous delegations, collating and analyzing data to design programs appropriate for the beneficiary communities and in line with the local sustainable development goals.
We partner reputable institutions of higher learning such as the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU) to support and steer our Tanoto Scholars’ journey of growth. Program graduates not only earn their degrees but also hone and acquire broader capacities and skillsets while building a stronger network of Tanoto Scholars in Singapore and beyond. Graduates from the program have gone on to be leaders in their respective fields and communities in various industries, such as medicine, business, finance/banking, IT etc.

Project Sukacita
Through this annual ground-up community service project, Tanoto Scholars work together to volunteer and contribute towards enhancing the quality of health and education of the under-privileged communities in Singapore and beyond. Through this experience, Tanoto Scholars are also able to hone their leadership skills, gain regional exposure and network, which are all crucial to prepare them for their future careers.
