Dear friends, AMMA Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization, announced that it will jointly offer RM5mil worth scholarship and financial assistance in partnership with 10 selected universities and colleges. The partnership, called the HOPE initiative (Harnessing Opportunities for Pathways in Education), will offer 57 financially disadvantaged Malaysian students an opportunity to enroll into quality foundation, diploma and bachelor degree programmes across multiple disciplines at an affordable cost. The selected universities and colleges will offer between 50%-100% tuition fee waiver to qualified students while AMMA Foundation will provide financial grants or interest free study loans to finance part of the remaining portion of the fees. AMMA Foundation President, Datuk Surendran Menon explained the rationale behind this smart partnership with selected universities and colleges. “The cost of quality tertiary education in Malaysia continues to soar and is often beyond the means of many Malaysians. In support of this cause, a fundraising dinner held on 24th April 2025 successfully raised RM500,000.00 in pledges for AMMA Foundation. Many guests also pledged their commitment to continue supporting this initiative over the next three years. The Foundation will continue its nationwide roadshow to identify and shortlist well-deserving Malaysian students from the B40 and M40 income categories. Scholarship presentation_24 Apr 2025.pdf |
