Education is the key enabler that will build the human
capital inAsia both today and tomorrow. Ourmajor
investment in scholarships and school programmes reflects
our belief in nurturing the potential of young people.
Maybank Foundation supports and inspires some of the brightest young people in Asia, who will eventually become
the business leaders of tomorrow, to pursue their higher education. We have been consistent in our commitment to
develop next generation talent, awarding 51 scholarships in 2013. The scholarship covers tuition fees, living allowances,
laptops and training. We also run development programmes such as internships and mentorships to prepare scholars
for a rewarding career with the Group.
In November 2012, Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII) launched a local and overseas scholarship award programme. In
2013, over 8,400 students from all over Indonesia applied for local scholarships and 28 received awards. Meanwhile,
300 students applied for overseas scholarships and five have now been granted awards to study in Malaysia and
Singapore.
We also continued supporting the Asian University for Women scholarship programme. The programme provides
full-board five-year scholarships to promising first-born daughters of underprivileged families from Indonesia and
Malaysia at the Asian University for Women (AUW) in Chittagong, Bangladesh. There are interlinkages between gender
equality and economic growth, which supports the investment in the further education of girls to enable more inclusive
growth in ASEAN countries.
