KPMG in Malaysia has announced the opening of applications for its Young Star Scholarship Programme, a key initiative under the KPMG Education Trust Fund (ETF) aimed at supporting high-achieving accounting and finance undergraduate students from underprivileged backgrounds.
Managing Partner of KPMG in Malaysia, Foong Mun Kong, said, “Through KPMG Young Star Scholarship Programme, we are investing in the next generation of leaders by equipping them with career-defining opportunities, essential skills and experience.”
