All students, irrespective of race and religion who have secured a place to study for the foundation course in any of the public Universities, including UTAR, are eligible to apply for scholarships from Koon Yew Yin.
The scholarship provided will be sufficient to cover tuition fees and cost of living expenses for the one-year foundation course.
On successful completion of the foundation course, the students will be required to apply for the government PTPTN loan to complete the degree courses chosen by them.
Conditions:
-
Scholarships will only be given to needy students whose parents are earning less than RM2,000 per month.
-
Scholarship recipients after completion of their degree courses are not required to compensate in any way for the financial support received. The only condition is that they will have to promise to help other poor students when they themselves are financially secure and in a position to help the unfortunate and needy.
-
All applications should be sent to the address below with appropriate parents’ salary or pay vouchers or other evidence of income as well as offer letters from the universities. For students with parents engaged in self employment, a letter of reference from a school teacher or official on the financial status of the parents will be sufficient.

Mr & Mrs KYY, your kind action will bring many less fortunate young Malaysians a better future. We certainly need many more Malaysians who can make such gesture! THANK YOU!

By encouraging those who receive the scholarship to help others in future, KYY is exponentially increasing the help available to those in a similar situation.
A very wise move indeed.

Dear Mrs Koon, first of all I salute you for the help you are providing to the students. This will actually lead them to a better future. My only humble request, can this help be extended to needy students from other institutions? I am attached to a private university, and i do see students who are interested in Foundation but they cant afford since PTPTN doesnt cover. Thank you
