ASEAN-Maybank Scholarship Programme

The ASEAN-Maybank Scholarship programme is a partnership between Maybank Foundation and the ASEAN Secretariat. It is one of the ASEAN-level initiatives undertaken by Maybank Foundation, a newly accredited ASEAN entity, with the aim to “promote an innovative ASEAN approach to higher education”, which is one of the strategic measures listed in the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025.

The scholarship programme is designed to provide young, talented and deserving ASEAN nationals with full scholarships to pursue their undergraduate programme at a prestigious university outside their own countries, but within the ASEAN region, and in the process promote intra-ASEAN integration.

In cooperation with the ASEAN University Network, the focus will initially be on placing selected scholars in top universities under the ASEAN Universities Network. The ASEAN University Network membership currently stands at 30 core member universities and 11 associate universities across the 10 ASEAN Member States.
