SINGAPORE, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UOL Malls, comprising KINEX, United Square, and Velocity@Novena Square, have launched the debut U-Progress Awards to recognise and celebrate the achievements of Singaporean students. The awards highlight hard work, encourage progress, and reward students for their exceptional efforts both inside and outside the classroom.

U-Progress Awards

Divided into three categories — Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary — each with 30 award categories, the program emphasises measurable improvements in performance across academics, behaviour, and extracurricular activities, rather than absolute achievement. Essentially celebrating progress in all forms — academic and non-academic — it is open to students aged 7 to 19 who reside or study in the CDC's Central and South East zone, as well as students from UOL Malls' enrichment and learning centres.

The is the first commercial mall initiative in Singapore to launch such a program, supported by the CDC. Eligible students can apply by submitting an online form along with supporting documents highlighting their achievements from 1 January to 31 December 2024.

Winners will receive a certificate from UOL, along with UOL e-vouchers. Parents, teachers, and coaches are also encouraged to nominate students for the relevant awards by submitting a statement that highlights the student's dedication, effort, and progress.
