About
The Singapore Silent Heroes (SSH) Student Award is proud to announce the commencement of its 2025 nomination cycle, continuing its mission to honor young individuals who exemplify exceptional compassion and selflessness within their communities.
Building upon the success of previous years, the 2025 award seeks to recognize students whose altruistic actions have made a significant impact on society.

Since its inception in 2023, the SSH Student Award has celebrated the remarkable contributions of young Singaporeans. In 2024, the initiative expanded its reach, engaging more schools and institutions while introducing the prestigious APEX Awards—a next-tier recognition honoring five outstanding students for their commendable achievements. These distinguished recipients were celebrated during the Singapore Silent Heroes 2024 Awards Ceremony on 7 September at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

This next-tier recognition highlights students who have made a profound and lasting impact, further elevating their inspiring efforts on a regional stage.

The 2025 award aims to further this legacy by encouraging schools across Singapore to nominate students who have demonstrated sustained acts of kindness and community service.

Educators and peers are invited to submit nominations, acknowledging that each act of kindness, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in shaping a compassionate society. The award comprises a trophy and a certificate, symbolizing the community’s gratitude for the students’ contributions. Awardees will be honored at the annual Silent Heroes Student Award ceremony, celebrating their dedication to humanity.
