The programme provides financial support to eligible students pursuing higher education, aiming to help outstanding young Malaysians — especially Sarawakians — navigate their academic journey with confidence and financial stability.

“Under the prestigious programme, successful applicants will receive full tuition fee coverage based on the actual credits taken, with payments made directly to the respective universities.

“The scholarship also offers annual reimbursement for return airfare on a pay-and-claim basis,” said BPHB.

Applicants must be Malaysian citizens, preferably Sarawakians, aged 22 or below in the year of application, and in their first semester of studies.

They must not hold any other scholarship and must be free from criminal records or substance-related offences.

Priority is also given to candidates from the B40 income group.

For Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), applicants must obtain a minimum of six As, including Bahasa Melayu, English and Mathematics, as well as a passing grade in Sejarah.

For Diploma, STPM, A-Level, Foundation or Matriculation qualifications, a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.50 is required.
