Asia-Ready Exposure Programme (AEP) Grant
AEP supports projects that provide youths with opportunities to gain meaningful exposure to ASEAN member states, China and India (ACI), and strengthening their competencies in building friendships and networks within the region.
Update on AEP
The Asia-Ready Exposure Programme (AEP) begun in 2020 and has since enabled at least 20,000 youths to gain meaningful exposure in ASEAN, China and India.
Currently in its fifth year, the AEP will be undergoing a review, and we seek your understanding that AEP grant applications for projects scheduled to be held from December 2024 will be put on hold. Applications have thus closed with immediate effect until further notice.
We invite you to keep a lookout for updates here and/or the OurSG Grants Portal.
If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact us at AEP_Enquiries@nyc.gov.sg
