HELP University & Rotary Club Kuala Lumpur DiRaja Financial Assistance Program

Bursary: Financial Assistance Program - HELP University Rotary Club Kuala Lumpur DiRaja

Start Here: What, Who & How

What is a Bursary?

What is a Bursary?

 

A bursary is a form of financial assistance provided to students based on financial need, helping them access higher education. Unlike scholarships, which are often merit-based, bursaries focus on supporting students from lower-income or challenging backgrounds.

For this specific bursary, only tuition fees and books are covered. Accommodation and other living expenses are not included. This ensures that recipients can focus on their studies without the burden of tuition costs while still needing to manage their own living arrangements and additional expenses.

Who is it for?

 

This bursary is specifically for average-performing students from underprivileged backgrounds who may not have the opportunity to pursue higher education due to financial constraints. Unlike scholarships that reward top scorers, this bursary is designed for students with moderate academic results who demonstrate potential, determination, and a strong desire to further their studies.

It supports young Malaysians who might otherwise be overlooked for traditional merit-based scholarships, giving them a chance to enroll in Diploma, Pre-University, or Undergraduate programs at HELP University. The bursary covers tuition fees and books, ensuring that financial limitations do not become a barrier to education.
