Nilai U announces new financial aid schemes

• Nilai University launches two new financial aid schemes to benefit lower income households.

“Nilai University (Nilai U) has always believed that deserving students should be given the opportunity to fulfil their potential through higher education,” says Datuk Dr Megat Burhainuddin Megat Abdul Rahman (Nilai U Vice-Chancellor). “Aside from various scholarship schemes which reward students with good grades and active extra-curricular résumés, there are now two new financial aid schemes to benefit lower income households.”

There are two tiers to these new ‘Education for All’ schemes. Under the first tier, households with a combined monthly income of less than RM2,000 will be entitled to a tuition fee discount and 100% accommodation subsidy. “We understand for many it is the living expenses which make higher education costly. Thus we will provide off-campus accommodation for no charge to students who qualify for this scheme. This should help greatly reduce the burden,” says Dr Megat Burhainuddin.

Next tier applies to households with a combined income of less than RM4,000 per month. In this scenario, students will be entitled to a discount in tuition fees and also a 50% waiver on the cost of off-campus accommodation. Both these offers are only available for the upcoming intakes with limited spaces available for these schemes. “We are offering this for a limited time to a certain number of applicants. Thus I wholly encourage those who qualify to apply as soon as possible. There are substantial savings to be made,” stresses Dr Megat Burhainuddin.

For the current intake, there is also the added incentive for those enrolling in the Foundation programmes to further their studies onto a degree programme at Nilai U. Students will enrol for a Nilai U degree programme will receive an 80% rebate on the Foundation programme’s fees. On top of that hefty discount, students only need to pay RM650 to begin their studies in any programme at Nilai U. “We have always striven to make higher education affordable with competitive pricing. These financial aid schemes highlight our commitment,” says Dr Megat Burhainuddin
