The Tanjong Scholarship Awards (TSA) are open to financially needy and academically deserving Malaysian students to pursue full-time degree programmes in any discipline at public universities in Malaysia.

Funded by Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tanjong, the TSA are open to Malaysian citizens who have obtained 4 principals with a minimum of 3As in their STPM examination, or minimum CGPA of 3.5 in their Matriculation programme. Applicants who are active in sports and/or co-curricular activities would have an added advantage.

The value of each award is RM7,000 per academic year for the minimum period required to complete the course of study.

There is no bond attached to the Scholarship. However, as part of the Group’s efforts to develop its human capital, scholars will be given preference in respect of employment opportunities within the Group upon their graduation.

Tanjong scholars are also provided with personal development training in the areas of leadership, communication, teamwork and creativity as well as working attachments in various departments within the Group during their study breaks in the first year.

Invitation to apply for TSA is advertised in major newspapers in Malaysia and the Group’s websites. This will usually be in April each year, after the release of the STPM examination results. Application for TSA 2009 closed on 5 June 2009.
