CIMB NURTURES ASEAN TALENT WITH RM5.6 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 13 YOUTHS ACROSS THE REGION
Now in its 6th year running, the CIMB ASEAN Scholarship programme aims to provide high potential youths from ASEAN countries with the opportunity to pursue their higher education of choice.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 (Bernama) -- CIMB Group Holdings Berhad (“CIMB” or “the Group”) announced today that it has awarded RM5.6 million in scholarships to 13 youths across the ASEAN region under its 2021 CIMB ASEAN Scholarship programme (the “Programme”). The scholarships were presented to recipients during a virtual award ceremony which was held recently. In Malaysia, the scholarships are being granted through CIMB Foundation, whilst in other ASEAN markets they will be granted by the Group’s respective local banking entities. Now in its 6th year, the Programme aims to provide high potential youths from ASEAN countries with the opportunity to pursue their higher education of choice.
The 2021 Programme was well-received with close to 11,000 applicants from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Scholarship recipients will receive a full scholarship covering tuition fees, living allowances, insurance and other related fees for any field of study at any established university worldwide. They will also be paired with a mentor who will provide career mentorship as they navigate their way into full-time employment.
In addition to career mentorship, CIMB ASEAN Scholars will be offered internships during study breaks and employment upon graduation, including the opportunity to enter CIMB’s structured management trainee programmes such as The Complete Banker (“TCB”) and TCB Digital. This ensures that they will have a holistic foundation as they begin their careers, enabling them to realise their potential through a well-rounded approach to professional development.
