Singapore-based couple Corinne Chow and Ryan Tan who chose the "double income, no kids" lifestyle, decided to launch two scholarships in 2021. They awarded S$12,000 towards tuition fees, to support disadvantaged undergraduates at Mr Tan’s alma mater, SMU. Mr Tan said that if they had a child two years ago, it would have made the decision to launch the scholarships very difficult as they would want to put the money towards the upbringing of their child. He added, “But at this stage of our lives, [I feel] this is a way I can give back to an institution that helped me in my life, and to benefit students who might have their own financial challenges.”
