Types of Scholarships for Studying in Malaysia
Currently, there are two main groups of scholarships available for international students:
1. Malaysian Government Scholarships
These scholarships are awarded to outstanding students with excellent academic records. They may cover tuition fees, living allowances, research support, and other benefits. However, competition is extremely high and the selection process is rigorous.
2. University Scholarships in Malaysia
Most universities in Malaysia offer various scholarship programs with more flexible eligibility conditions. Many institutions automatically award partial scholarships upon admission. For high-value scholarships, universities may require a strong GPA, English proficiency, extracurricular achievements, research experience, or published papers.
Steps to Apply for Scholarships in Malaysia
1. Research scholarships that match your field and study level
Before applying, students should thoroughly review available scholarships based on their major, academic level, and preferred institution. Each scholarship comes with its own requirements and criteria. Early research helps you select the scholarships that best fit your profile.
Recommended scholarship types to explore:
- Malaysian Government-funded postgraduate scholarships
- University scholarships (merit-based, entrance scholarships, talent scholarships, retention scholarships, etc.)
- Faculty- or major-specific scholarships for priority or research fields
- Research grants and teaching/research assistantships
- Scholarships from corporations or partner organizations
Scholarship information sources include:
- Official university websites
- Ministry of Education & Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia
- Program handbooks and faculty announcements
- Reputable scholarship platforms
- Education consultancy agencies (such as Duc Anh EduConnect)
After gathering information, select scholarships that align with your GPA, English proficiency, and academic goals.
2. Understand academic requirements and evaluation criteria
Each scholarship has its own selection standards. Competitive scholarships often require:
- High GPA (usually from 3.0–3.5/4.0 and above)
- English proficiency tests: IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic
- For postgraduate programs: publications, research projects, patents, or notable achievements
- Leadership experience or extracurricular activities (depending on the scholarship type)
Full or high-value scholarships are generally reserved for truly exceptional applicants.
3. Carefully review the scholarship terms and conditions
When applying for scholarships, pay attention to the following conditions:
- Must be admitted to a full-time program at a university in Malaysia
- For Government Scholarships: all research must be conducted within Malaysia
- Scholarship recipients may not change their major (or face restrictions)
- Full-time employment is not permitted during the study period
- Recipients must maintain the required academic performance to keep the scholarship
Understanding these conditions helps avoid issues during your studies.
4. Prepare a complete scholarship application
You may apply through the Malaysian Ministry of Education scholarship portal or directly through the university. A standard application package typically includes:
- Passport, photos, academic transcripts, CV, medical report
- Research certificates, academic achievements, or awards (if any)
- Recommendation letters and a research proposal (for postgraduate applicants)
- English proficiency certificates (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE Academic, etc.)
- Letter of Offer
- Reference letters from lecturers or direct supervisors
Submitting your documents early and ensuring accuracy will strengthen your scholarship application.
