Perkasa pelajar Malaysia, YTL Corp peruntuk RM27.2 juta untuk program biasiswa LSE
Program Biasiswa Malaysia YTL dijangka bantu pelajar tempatan lanjut pengajian sepanjang tempoh 20 tahun akan datang.
Perkasa, a Malaysian student group, recently launched the YTL Corporation's RM27.2 million Malaysia Scholarship Program at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The program aims to support Malaysian students over a 20-year period, according to YTL Corp. The first batch of scholarship recipients began their studies at LSE in September, comprising nine high-achieving and dedicated students pursuing degrees in nine different departments at the institution.
YTL Corp's Executive Chairman, Francis Yeoh, emphasized the importance of investing in talented and ambitious students to build a progressive Malaysia, focusing on individual development, intellectual excellence, moral values, aspirations, and societal responsibility. The program continues the long-standing relationship between LSE and YTL Corp's Malaysian partner, with over 250 Malaysian students currently enrolled at the institution for the 2025/2026 academic session.
Larry Kramer, LSE's President and Vice-Chancellor, highlighted the significance of investing in education, reflecting shared confidence in the potential of the next generation. The Yeoh family has a 30-year history of providing scholarships to hundreds of Malaysian students, and their commitment to strengthening economic ties led to Yeoh's appointment as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in 2019.
