Foundation offers study aid
THE Limkokwing University of Creative Technology through the Limkokwing Foundation is offering 300 full and partial scholarships to students of all backgrounds.
The scholarships will be made available for diplomas, degrees or the scholars become part of a peer network that provides them with the opportunity to communicate with and develop lifelong relationships with other motivated young people from over 160 countries.
There is a wide range of disciplines to choose from including mobile games development, software engineering, digital media, architecture and other technological and digitally-driven programmes.
Students may or may not be straight A students, but if they have the right aptitude and artistic ability, or are national debaters who have represented their schools are encouraged to apply. Those with leadership skills, are active in extracurricular activities or outstanding sports achievements, will also be considered.
The physically challenged are not denied the opportunity to be given scholarships as long they are able to provide a portfolio showcasing their abilities and talent.
Set up in 1998 by the universi- ty’s president Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing, the foundation is today an international philanthropic organisation with the mission of empowering generations of the future through education.
Lim has been transforming lives on three continents by encouraging talented young people through this foundation.
Every year, he provides these scholarships to reach out to the youth to harness their creativity.
The foundation, through its scholarship programme and financial aid, is committed to providing deserving students from all over the world with the opportunities to complete their tertiary education at Limkokwing campuses worldwide.
Many scholarship recipients have gone on to make their own mark in the world upon graduation.
The university constantly reviews and upgrades its programmes to reflect changes in the industry. “This puts our graduates ahead of others because they are technically competent, are creative with presentations skills and are geared for globalised career pathways,” the university said in a statement.
