aT Infrastruc­ture University Kuala Lumpur (IUKL), it believes that education should be made available to everyone. Therefore, it is IUKL’s mission to provide quality, recognised and affordable education for all fresh school-leavers.

There is a variety of financial assistance available to students at IUKL. IUKL scholarshi­ps are offered to students who score at least 5As in the SPM or CGPA 3.000 in the STPM, and for those who graduate with a diploma or foundation, it requires a CGPA of at least 3.500 to be eligible for the scholarshi­ps.

In addition to the scholarshi­ps, the IUKL Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme is offered to all its existing students every semester. Students need to score a CGPA of at least 3.500 each semester.

If you have a CGPA of 3.500 to 3.750, you will receive a 30% tuition fee waiver for your next semester. If you manage to score a CGPA of 3.571 to 4.000, a 60% tuition fee waiver awaits.

This is part of IUKL’s initiative to encourage students to concentrat­e and excel in their studies, at the same time reducing the burden of students and parents.

The fees structure at IUKL is also designed to ease the burden of students. The tuition fees per semester can be paid by flexible instalment. Education loans such as PTPTN, MARA and financial assistance from the State Foundation are also available.
