Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) Undergraduate Scholarship

Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM) is a statutory body that protects against the loss of bank deposits, as well as takaful and insurance benefits in the unlikely event of a member institution failure and is mandated to promote public confidence in the stability of the financial system in Malaysia.

PHILOSOPHY
The programme is intended to reach out to deserving Malaysians who are in need of financial aid to pursue their education.

WHAT DOES THE SCHOLARSHIP OFFER?

• Up to RM10,000 a year in course fees or the actual cost, whichever is lower;
• Up to RM2,000 in allowances for learning aids including books, computer, stationeries and other materials per semester or up to RM4,000 per year;
• Up to a maximum of RM6,000 allowance per year or RM500 per month;
• There will be no bond to this scholarship and the recipients are not required to repay the amount of scholarship awarded.
• Induction Programme
  An induction programme will be provided to all recipients of the PIDM Scholarship Award. This is to ensure the recipients understand the mandate, vision, mission and values of PIDM.
• Mentoring and Coaching
  Each recipient will be assigned a “mentor” from the Senior Management team. The mentor will provide consistent and continuous mentoring and coaching throughout the programme. This is to ensure that the recipients have the necessary support and are able to leverage on the experience of our management team.
• Internship Programme
  As part of the strategic design of the programme, graduates will be offered paid six-month internship opportunities in PIDM to apply what they have learned in an operational context (subject to a minimum ‘Cumulative Grade Point Average’ (CGPA) of 3.00 or a minimum of ‘Second Class Upper’ in the final examinations).

In summary, the programme will cover the above fees and allowance up to a maximum of RM20,000 per person per annum. During the period of internship with PIDM, each recipient will receive a monthly allowance of RM1,000 for a six-month period.
