KUOK Foundation is one of the option for all students who are pursuing
tertiary education and facing financial difficulties. The best thing
about this award is that you can take up part-loan part-grant award and
start to pay back half amount of the loan only after you graduate from
the tertiary institution.
The other very good thing is that the loan is interest-free !! I'll
describe the type of award offered by KUOK Foundation...
KUOK Foundation Berhad is one of the charity company subsidised by KUOK
organisation, by a Malaysian Tycoon Robert Kuok (known as Sugar King of
Malaysia). Every year this company helped a lot of Malaysians fulfiled
their dreams of pursuing higher education without financial problem.
The above awards are not scholarships but are financial assistance
given to needy students in the form of interest-free study loans or
part-loan, part-grant study awards. Study loans are repayable by
monthly instalments upon graduation. The type of award to be offered to
any one student will be decided at the absolute discretion of the
Foundation.
Basically KUOK Foundation helps students from various backgrounds but
concentrate more to those facing financial difficulties. The other rule
from KUOK Foundation is that the student MUST BE ACCEPTED into one of
the local public tertiary institutions, IPTA (or other higher
institutions, IPTS as listed by KUOK Foundation) OR accepted into a
SINGAPORE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY (National University of Singapore, Nanyang
Technological University or Singapore Management University).
The loan is upto RM9,000 per annum for the whole course period for
students from Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Science
related etc courses while students doing Arts bachelor wil get upto
RM8,000 per annum while for students in Singapore, only Medicine and
Dentistry students may take the loan upto RM28,000 per annum while all
other students may take loan upto RM20,000 per annum. To ease your
