20 get scholarships from Honda fund<\/P>
NINE Indians were among 20 students who received scholarships from the Honda Dreams Fund, said Malaysia Nanban<\/I>.
Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd announced the starting of the fund in January with an initial sum of RM1mil to help less fortunate students pursue higher education.
Honda Malaysia managing director Atsushi Fujimoto said the recipients were chosen after a three-day workshop for 60 youths picked from 623 applicants.
He said the youths were selected based on their academic achievements, family background and their dreams of higher education.
They were also required to write an article in English.
To ensure an unbiased disbursement of the fund, Honda partnered with the United Nations Development Programme where the latter and an independent advisory panel comprising members of non-governmental organisations selected the recipients.
He said the fund would offer non-binding scholarships.
The fund provides for the students\u00c2\u2019 tertiary education fees and allowances to meet living expenses for the duration of their courses.<\/P><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
