The Foundation can make up to two (2) awards each year. Each award is worth up to RM 50,000 per year for the duration of the student’s university course and will be paid directly to the university.

The applications will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Financial need
  • Academic achievement
  • Involvement in school life
  • Involvement in local community 
  • Course pursued and university enrolled 

The full application guidelines can be found here and the application form here.
