MARA Scholarship 2027 in Malaysia (Malaysian Citizens Only)

MARA (Majlis Amanah Rakyat) is a Malaysian government agency that gives education loans to Bumiputera Malaysian citizens, from foundation level to PhD. These are convertible loans, not grants. International students cannot apply. The applicant must be a Malaysian citizen, and the applicant and one parent must be Bumiputera, so Pakistani and other foreign students are not eligible. Each MARA programme opens for a short period of its own and is applied for through MARA's MyEduloan system, so the date shown on this page is only an estimate. If you are an international student looking for funding in Malaysia, look at university research assistant schemes instead. This page was last checked against the MARA website on 7 October 2026.
