HOLISTIC KPMG ASEAN SCHOLARSHIP DESIGNED FOR UNDERGRADUATES TO GAIN CROSS BORDER EXPERIENCE

KPMG calls for young Malaysians to unleash their potential PETALING JAYA, Feb 21 (Bernama) -- The KPMG ASEAN Scholarship, a regional scholarship program, is once again open until 20 March 2020 for outstanding Malaysian undergraduates to apply. The scholarship provides funding and employment opportunities in four ASEAN nations alongside Malaysia: Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. KPMG is the first of the Big 4 professional services firms to offer such program in the region, which was established in 2015. Eligible scholars who are keen on getting first-hand corporate experience or have interest in acquiring structured cross-border experiences are encouraged to apply. Exceptional undergraduates who are currently in their first or second year of their degree program in any discipline are welcome. Adrian Lee, Head of People at KPMG in Malaysia, explains “KPMG’s ASEAN Scholarship program enables undergraduates to engage with people from different countries while learning employable skillsets that will benefit them when they graduate and join the workforce. Selected applicants will have the opportunity to broaden their experience with two internships; one with the Malaysia firm and the other within one of the four participating member firms in ASEAN. “Last year, we received over 460 applicants from various universities across Malaysia and through rigorous selection, have supported five promising graduates from Malaysia to stretch their potential to grow and become leaders of the future.” Adrian added. Scholars will receive an annual scholarship grant of RM12,000 per annum and allowance for internships abroad. This program also offers employment prospects for excellent scholars upon graduation. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=36800
