What is the Fugee HiEd Scholarship?
The Fugee HiEd Scholarship supports the higher education dreams of refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons in Malaysia. We seek applicants who excel academically, are proactive, and show a genuine commitment to bettering their communities.
Scholars are selected based on merit and their passion for education, choice of career and improving communities. We promote refugee & stateless youth to be self-reliant and proactive and hence we search for these qualities in potential Scholars.
