Quality education is one of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with one of the targets being “ensuring equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university” by the year 2030.

In keeping with this SDG, the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation recently pledged RM1 million in scholarships to support students nurtured by Teach For Malaysia (TFM), an independent not-for-profit organisation that seeks to empower the nation via education.

The scholarship, which provides students the opportunity to pursue tertiary education at Sunway College and Sunway University, will include full tuition fees, all general fees and covers the course of the students’ studies from foundation year, certificate, diploma and right up to a bachelor’s degree programme.

“Taking the partnership a step further, opportunities will be created for deserving and underprivileged students to pursue quality education and help close the post-secondary gap.”
