Dear Malaysian Students at the University of Melbourne,

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THREE (3) BURSARIES OF A$2000 EACH FOR MALAYSIAN STUDENTS FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2015

Greetings from the members of the University of Melbourne Alumni Association in Malaysia (UMAA).  We are a 26-year old association which comprises alumni from various faculties of the University of Melbourne.  We are proud of our alma mater and UMAA provides us with the opportunity to maintain an active and strong network among Malaysian alumni as well as foster a close relationship with the university.

In this spirit, two of our esteemed alumni have graciously offered to fund up to three(3) bursaries, each A$2000 to alleviate the financial burden of Malaysian students in need.
