You don't have to be Malaysian to benefit from The Malaysian Government's generous scholarships. The Ministry of Higher Education offers the Malaysia International Scholarships, competitive scholarships for international students with excellent academic records. The undergraduate studies and postgraduate scholarships were established to encourage foreign students to pursue their higher education at Malaysia's top educational institutions and to strengthen bilateral relations between Malaysia and participating countries.
Each scholarship consists of full tuition fees for a course of the student's choice at the educational institution of the student's choice, return air tickets from recipient's capital city to Malaysia, a monthly maintenance allowance and a yearly grant for books and internal travel.
To be eligible for the scholarships, applicants must have completed their secondary education, have an excellent record of leadership in extracurricular or social activities and must have two recent academic or personal references.
Finalists are examined by a panel established by the Ministry of Higher Education.
