Malaysia Scholarship 2008-2009

Background

The Establishment of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman UTAR began with the story of Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman (KTAR). In 1964 the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) mooted the idea of setting up a college which was subsequently named after the first Prime Minister of Malaysia. On 15 September 1972 , YAB Dato' Hussein Onn, the then Minister of Education handed over the Instrument of Government to the College. A 191-acre piece of land in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur was allocated for the construction of the KTAR Campus. Today, KTAR has an enrolment of about 33,000 students taking 110 courses spread over six campuses in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perak, Johor, Pahang and Sabah.

Set to be a premier university in the future, UTAR would have to achieve global standards. To serve as a platform for international affiliations, the International Advisory Council (IAC) consisting of eminent scholars and scientists was established. With this array of distinguished scholars and scientists,

UTAR has since then been working towards building a strong international base for its research programmes and courses of studies. The historic inaugural meeting of the IAC chaired by Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, Chairman of UTAR Council, took place on 15 April 2002 . It was indeed a meeting of keen minds with a myriad of vibrant ideas which provided an excellent start for the new University.

Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) has a several scholarship scheme such as UTAR Scholarships to cater to applicants with outstanding academic performance.
