Tunku Abdul Rahman Scholarship

The Tunku Abdul Rahman Fund was established in 2003 by the Government of Malaysia to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (B.A. 1926, Hon. LL.D. 1960, Hon. Fellow 1960), the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who received his undergraduate degree, his Honorary Doctorate in Law, and an Honorary Fellowship from St Catharine’s College, Cambridge.

The Tunku Fund aims to encourage the development of the humanities and the social sciences in Malaysia. It offers a scholarship for students wishing to pursue PhD research or a studentship for work that leads to an MPhil or equivalent degree.
