The Star Education Fund
The Star Education Fund was launched by the Minister of Education
in 1994 in conjunction with The Star Education Fair. Each year, at the
official opening of the Star Education Fair, the Minister of Education
or his representative would receive the scholarship awards from the
contributors on behalf of the Fund. There are many scholarships available
and students have wide options to pursue suitable courses ranging from
postgraduate, degree, professional and diploma programmes.
The Fund acts as an umbrella for individuals, corporations and
educational institutions interested in contributing towards the education
of exceptional and needy students. The objectives of the Fund are
to provide educational and training opportunities to deserving and
needy Malaysian students, as well as to play a role in assisting the
nation in meeting its manpower needs and to make Vision 2020 a
success. Contributions are mainly from local private higher educational
institutions (IPTS) and overseas educational institutions of higher
learning for students to pursue selected courses at the contributing
institution.
