Applications are open for the ASEAN-Maybank Scholarship Program 2022. The scholarship program is designed to provide young, talented and deserving ASEAN nationals with full scholarships to pursue their undergraduate program at a prestigious university outside their own countries, but within the ASEAN region, and in the process promote intra-ASEAN integration.
This year, 2022 is the first intake of scholars under the ASEAN-Maybank Scholarship program, and through ASEAN Foundation and in cooperation with the ASEAN University Network, the focus will initially be on placing selected scholars in top public universities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines and gradually expanding it to the remaining ASEAN countries. The ASEAN University Network membership currently stands at 30 member universities in the 10 ASEAN Member States with its Secretariat based at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
The regional scholarship program will help contribute to the aspirations of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 4, 10, and 17) to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and simultaneously be in support of Maybank Group’s goal to “improve the lives of 1 million households across ASEAN by 2025” as one of its sustainability commitments.
