THE YTL SCHOLAR Your academic degree matters to us, but we believe it takes much more than an academic qualification alone to shape young, caring and passionate leaders. This is why YTL Foundation will invest in you during your course of study and beyond. We will provide you with training, internships, mentoring and access to a global community of scholars to complement your education, build your confidence and prepare you for the workplace.

A GLOBAL COMMUNITY YTL Foundation aims to build a strong community of scholars who work as a collective force to make a di�erence. We create opportunities for you to make new friends with your peers. Get-togethers are organised and a closed group Facebook page is created for you to communicate and lend support to each other.

This community starts as soon as you are accepted into the programme. You will take part in an induction programme to get to know YTL and other scholars in a fun and welcoming environment.

THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

Our scholars go through a leadership programme during which they have the opportunity to gain exposure to senior leaders within the YTL Group and are empowered to develop their confidence and intrinsic leadership capabilities. You will be coached over the course of your academic career to continue in your personal development with the goal of helping you realise your full potential.

BUILD YOUR SKILLS Our scholars gain unique, interactive experiences aimed at supporting their personal growth in skills which are vital to success in the workplace. The opportunity to participate in the innovative and creative programmes that YTL Foundation and the YTL Group run in primary and secondary schools will also provide you with skill sets that will help support your personal growth.

HANDS ON EXPERIENCE

The best way to learn is through hands on experience, which is why we create internships for our scholars within the YTL Group each year. You may gain exposure to event management, infrastructure development, business activities and/or educational programmes. Your internship will give you a clearer idea of the YTL work culture and what it is like to work for a company running a diversified global business.

AFTER GRADUATION

Upon graduation you will be fast tracked to interview for a role with YTL and if successful, be bonded to the company for between 5-7 years. This level of job continuity can provide you with the confidence of a secure foundation from which you can thrive in your career.

In 1997, YTL Foundation was established to

provide opportunities for aspiring students

to achieve their dreams. The goal was also

to nurture and develop future leaders for

our nation. The Foundation aims to assist

scholars who have the potential to become

outstanding citizens and have a high

commitment to the community. The

selection of candidates is based on a

number of criteria which include academic

achievement, leadership qualities,

involvement in community and

non-curricular activities. But most

importantly we are looking for smart, gritty

young people who embody our core values.

Scholarships are awarded annually to

successful candidates to enable them to

attend reputable and recognized colleges or

universities in the country and exceptionally

overseas.

Since 1997, YTL scholarships have been

awarded to almost 400 outstanding

students from across the country who have

since graduated from a range of disciplines

and returned to serve YTL and the country.

At YTL Foundation, we believe that we can

build a better society through better

education. Alongside our scholarships, we

deliver a number of programmes that are

transforming education throughout

Malaysia and support innovation and

creativity in teaching and learning in primary

and secondary schools. We o�er

opportunities for our scholars to get

involved in these programmes from their

first year, which for many have been

enriching and meaningful experiences.

The YTL Scholarship Programme is open to students who

have finished their STPM, A Levels and other pre-university

courses. Individuals applying for this scholarship will have to

have excellent academic grades with a strong record of

extracurricular and community based activities.

This scholarship is for undergraduate degrees at Malaysian

YTL FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME

undergraduate degrees of the candidates’ choice.

got my scholarship, “Mother, where would you

like to go for a holiday?!”

you and your family’s life?

Financial stability is nice. It’s good to know I will

graduate without a debt.

What does the future hold for you?

Limitless possibilities!

What would you say to someone else thinking

ALLAN TAN GAR HENGScholar

Allan is studying Mechanical Engineering at Universiti Tenaga Malaysia.

David successfully graduated with a degree

in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 and 6 years on,

he works as a Senior Project Engineer in the

M&E Department of YTL Construction.

What di�erence has the YTL Scholarship made to your life?

Having the opportunity to further my studies has allowed me to

be more independent and broadened my views on the world.

What opportunities have you had since working at YTL?

The most interesting thing about working in YTL for me is that I

have been fortunate to work on various types of projects thus

far and every project is unique and challenging in its own way.

Currently we are building the new YTL HQ Towers in Bukit

Bintang; I am excited and thankful to be working on the

next new landmark of KL’s skyline.

DAVID PRINCEAlumni working in YTL

Caryl is our first Yeoh Tiong Lay Scholar, who

started studying law at the University of

Cambridge in 2015.

What was your experience of applying for a

scholarship?

The process was a lot less formal than other

scholarship applications and more personal. I felt

relaxed, and could tell that being a YTL Scholar is

di�erent than being a scholar for another company.

You meet interesting people and it feels more like a

family.

What di�erence has the Yeoh Tiong Lay

Scholarship made to your life?

This whole chapter of my life! I wouldn’t have been

able to come to Cambridge and study here without

the scholarship. YTL wants to make a di�erence in

their scholars’ lives, to help them grow and

develop, and my family are happy I’m

getting the extra support.

What does the future hold for you?

I hope to continue picking up di�erent skills, and

I’m looking forward to seeing the reality of working

for the company whether at YTL Foundation, Frog

Asia or the Legal Department.

What would you say to someone else thinking of

applying for a scholarship?

Go for it! You don’t have anything to lose, and even

if you aren’t successful you will gain experience

and new skills in a professional environment.

You never know, God may open the door!

You’ll never know unless you try.
