Realising the gravity of the situation, Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (‘TAR UC’) offers various kinds of financial aid for students to help them in these trying times.

First off is TAR UC’s PRIHATIN Flexi Payment Plan which is introduced in 2021.

It aims at bringing financial relief to students by providing greater flexibility in the first semester fees payment where students only make an initial payment of RM263 to begin their tertiary education at TAR UC.

The balance of fees shall be paid by instalment up to week 5 or 9 of study, depending on the intake. This plan is offered to students who have received offer of admission for Foundation, Diploma and Bachelor degree programmes for June/September/ November 2021 intakes.
