Financial aid for high-achieving Kelantan students

Overview

High-achieving STPM students from low-income backgrounds in Kelantan have received various forms of financial assistance and sponsorship to pursue higher education.

In one instance, student Lovely Sabana Augustine received a special fee waiver from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) following intervention by MARA Chairman Datuk Dr. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. MARA’s Education Foundation also provided RM1,000 in preparatory funds to support her studies.

Similarly, Nurul Atiqah Husna Azli, who achieved a 4.0 CGPA, secured full sponsorship for her studies at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). This arrangement was confirmed by the MARA Chairman after public attention was drawn to her financial constraints. In addition to MARA’s preparatory assistance, the Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (MAIK) provided RM4,200 for her living and preparation expenses, while other contributors provided equipment such as a laptop.
