Offers scholars a unique buddy system and networking opportunities to prepare them as future industry captains
Kuala Lumpur: Furthering its commitment towards investing in youths of ASEAN, the CIMB Group is offering 20 full scholarships for first degree programmes at any reputable university of choice. The CIMB ASEAN Scholarship is open to citizens of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Cambodia who are current undergraduates, or are about to begin their degree programmes.
A unique value proposition of this scholarship is that the scholars, during their undergraduate studies, will be exposed to programmes and initiatives that will not only help them in their studies, but also prepare them to be career-ready with CIMB. This comprises, among others, a buddy system whereby the scholars are paired with CIMB bankers for hands-on learning and training, networking opportunities with senior management, and involvement in CIMB’s ASEAN-related programmes.
Tengku Dato’ Sri Zafrul Aziz, Group Chief Executive, CIMB Group said, “Our scholarship scheme demonstrates our commitment to play a more active role in grooming future leaders who will in turn, support the growth of ASEAN, consistent with the aspirations of the CIMB Group. The core objective is to provide a holistic development programme to nurture these scholars into accomplished professionals who are not only intellectual, but also equipped with the necessary soft skills to succeed in a highly competitive environment. One key draw for the scholars would be an opportunity to be placed in any of the 17 countries where the Group operates."
