Pacific Prime opens ‘Scholarship Program 2022’ for Asia Pacific students

KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 (Bernama) -- Global health insurance brokerage Pacific Prime has opened its ‘Scholarship Program 2022’, catering to high school and undergraduate students of any age and nationality currently enrolled in or accepted into either a full-time or part-time programme in an educational institute in the Asia Pacific region.

Back for its latest edition, the essay-based scholarship programme awards one exceptional student a bursary of US$1,000 to offset the costs associated with receiving an education. (US$1 = RM4.397)

Neil Raymond, Founder and CEO of Pacific Prime in a statement said: “Pacific Prime’s scholarship programme is a key pillar of our CSR initiatives because we believe that education is a right, not a privilege.

Our essay based scholarship this year not only offers one deserving student financial help, but also encourages students to understand the importance of good mental health.

“As COVID-19-related school closures and online learning over the past two years must have taken a toll on students’ wellbeing, prioritising mental health will be the way forward for them.”

Applicants must submit an original essay between 600 and 1,000 words on the topic of ‘The importance of good mental health in academia’ by Sept 30, 2022.

The essay can be written in either British or American English, and the winning entry will be published on Pacific Prime’s website. Applicants should note that plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in the entry being rejected.

The scholarship recipient will be announced on Nov 1, 2022.
