Dear Malaysian Students at the University of Melbourne

About the Alumni Bursary for Malaysian Students at the University of Melbourne

The University of Melbourne Alumni Association Malaysia is pleased to announce a bursary for Malaysian students studying at the University of Melbourne.

The bursary is in the form of a cash amount of AU$2,500 awarded directly to the Malaysian student. There are no terms of repayment or conditions attached to the bursary; it is intended to alleviate the financial burden of Malaysian students in need.
