Scholarship Explained
Financial Aid Providers
In Malaysia, the sponsors of financial aid come from various categories. These include scholarships
and loans offered by the government, non-governmental organisations, the private sector,
government-linked companies and trade associations.
Types of Financial Aid
Higher education is one of the most important investments you will make in your lifetime. With the
increasing cost of education, planning ahead is essential to finance your education. So what are
some options you can explore? Here are some common ways students seek financial aid.
- Scholarships
Scholarships are monetary awards given based on academic or other achievements and are
non-repayable, which means you won't have to pay the money back. Scholarships are awarded by the government,
non-government organisations, corporations and independent foundations.
- Bursaries
You may have heard people using the terms 'scholarship' and 'bursary' interchangeably, however,
bursaries are usually non-competitive and automatic, and often based on financial need without emphasis on academic standing.
- Grants
Grants are similar to scholarships and also don't have to be repaid. The difference is that
grants are often need-based while scholarships are usually merit-based. Grants are also given to
students who carry out academic research projects.
- Education Funds
Education Funds are Scholarships or loans provided by the Government / foundation / private
educational institutions / financial institutions to reduce the burden of financing a student's
education expenses, whether locally or overseas.
- Tuition Fee Waiver or Discount
Many private higher education institutions in Malaysia offer partial or full tuition fee waivers
or discounts based on merit (e.g. academic, sports, leadership roles). Recipients are often
required to maintain a minimum CGPA to continue enjoying the tuition fee waiver.
- Unit Trusts & Insurance Schemes
These are typically investment schemes that parents undertake for several years to secure
financial funding for their child's higher education.
- Loans
Loans are financial obligations that must be repaid. Loans are mostly provided by private sector
or government bodies.
Financing for Higher Education
The cost of tertiary education does not come cheap, but it is a lifetime investment for your future.
Therefore whether your parents can afford your entire or partial cost of tertiary education, you are
advised to go through this pathway in order to be competitive in your career advancement. If your
family cannot afford the cost, you may work while studying part-time or look for some forms of
scholarship, study grant, loan or other sources of financial aid to help you to pay for your
education.
