The GIC Essay Prize, as the competition is called, will be administered by the National University of Singapore's Centre for Asset Management Research and Investments.
Two prizes - of $5,000 and $2,000 - will be given out each year for the best written essays.
'The GIC Essay Prize is our way of engaging young people in what we do - hopefully, they will come to appreciate that the wealth of a nation does not come about by chance,' Dr Tan said.
Additional information, including assessment criteria and competition details, will be announced in August.

Last August, GIC introduced the Young Professionals Programme - a recruitment exercise to attract talent, particularly those expected to have a good cultural fit with the organisation.
