In celebration of over half a century of enriching Malaysian lives with good food and craveable moments, KFC Malaysia is proud to announce The KFC Scholarship, an initiative aimed at empowering over 30 students from underprivileged communities in Malaysia in their higher education journey.
The RM2.1 million initiative is targeted for qualified B40 students aiming to pursue their undergraduate degree at any one of the 20 public universities in Malaysia. In addition to tuition fees, the scholarship will cover a monthly living allowance and KFC meal vouchers.
Applications for the scholarship opened on 28th of May via the KFC website and has drawn over 500 applications since. Students who have received an unconditional offer letter from a Malaysian public university can continue to apply directly for the scholarship program at https://kfc.com.my/scholarship up until 31st July 2024.
The KFC Scholarship applications will remain open until the 31st of July. Shortlisted students will participate in a screening and selection process by a panel of QSR Brands’ leadership team. The scholarship will be awarded to 30 students who will receive financial support to pursue their undergraduate degree for up to four years.
The KFC Scholarship builds upon QSR Brands’ long-standing commitment to community development and enhancement programs. Through its Add Hope and KFC Feeding Programme, KFC Malaysia has contributed more than RM32 million since 2007. QSR Brands also recently pledged RM2 million to combat child hunger in support of underprivileged students across 28 schools in Malaysia.
