Fellowships, scholarships, assistantships are usually available for postgraduate students wishing to study in Malaysia, depending either on availability within the institution and your academic qualifications. Additionally, a number of scholarships are available from other institutions and organisations, such as the Malaysian government.

The Financial Assistance Unit of the School of Graduate Studies is the first place you should turn to for information on the types of financial assistance available to graduate students. Part of the Academic And Financial Aid Unit is the best resource available to you because it handles directly the management and distribution of scholarships and fellowships to graduate students.
