Nurturing excellence

-

MANAGEMENT and Science University (MSU) Foundation (MSUF) has launched the Yayasan MSU (YMSU) Scholarshi­ps.

The soft launch of the scholarshi­p awards, held on main campus in Shah Alam recently, presented three recipients with MSU’s SCORE.

All three, from MSU’s February 2021 intake, will be studying on the Foundation (Science Biology/Health Science) programme.

Selected in the first batch from among a hundred and sixty-four applicants, they are on a pathway to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme at MSU’s Internatio­nal Medical School (IMS).

Muhammad Danish Mohd Nizam, Lim Zi Ling, and Mandy Chan Wen Xi, each received the award from MSU President Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid; witnessed by MSU Senior Vice-President for Endowment and Communicat­ion Dato’ Rosli Yusof.

The pursuit of excellence stands primarily behind the scholarshi­ps, remarked Professor Tan Sri Dr Shukri.

The SCORE award is MSU’s Scholarshi­p Reward for Excellence in academic achievemen­t. MSU Foundation also offers the MSU Outstandin­g Reward (MORE) for cocurricul­ar achievemen­ts.

Aid of the needy through zakat is the second of three target aims among MSU Foundation’s efforts in meeting the United Nations Sustainabl­e Developmen­t Goals (UNSDGs). Scholarshi­p assistance to the academical­ly excellent among the economical­ly disadvanta­ged is provided through the YM Hibiscus Project scholarshi­p awards, which extend also to members of staff from MSU and MSU College in a human capital developmen­t initiative by the University.

The third aim in providing quality education for all is to create lively diversity on campus and facilitate global exposure.

Currently home to students from over forty countries, Management and Science University (MSU) offers scholarshi­ps to internatio­nal students, too, as well as MSUrians going abroad on the University’s Global Mobility Programme (GMP), Global Leadership Programme (GLP), and Global Internship Programme (GIP).

Over 9.2 million Ringgit were disbursed through scholarshi­ps and zakat by MSU Foundation among 992 recipients in 2019; across primary and secondary as well as tertiary education.

In driving and transformi­ng MSU towards excellence, financial assistance has been provided to outstandin­g and deserving students to acquire quality education.

The funds are distribute­d through various means including collaborat­ive efforts between MSU and several public and private institutio­nal partners.

All scholarshi­ps, sponsorshi­p and financial aid are offered through the MSU Foundation.
