Crescendas Group have sponsored the Institute of Physics Singapore IPS Physics Education Awards since year 2005.

The awards consist of the following:

"The above awards were instituted by the Council of the Institute in October 2004 in recognition of outstanding and innovative physics teaching at institutions in Singapore. As many remarkable teachers nurture and inspire each new generation of potential physicists annually, they deserve greater recognition for their outstanding efforts and novel ways of physics teaching. Awards are also considered for creative teachers who have made outstanding contributions to school Science Societies such as astronomy clubs, shared or fostered physics collaborations with other schools or organizations." - IPS
