关于 Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA)
Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) is the Public Service Department of Malaysia, responsible for managing human‑resource planning and public‑service excellence in the country. As part of its mission, JPA provides scholarship and sponsorship programmes for qualified Malaysian students — aiming to nurture future professionals and meet national human‑resource needs.
JPA’s sponsorship programmes support studies at different levels (pre‑university, undergraduate, and postgraduate) at approved local or overseas institutions. The programmes cover fields deemed important for the nation — such as science, technology, engineering, health‑related disciplines, and other strategic areas.
Through these scholarships or sponsorships, JPA offers financial assistance (tuition fees, possibly allowances or living costs depending on the type of sponsorship), enabling recipients to pursue higher education. In many cases, the support is provided as a loan or “convertible loan”, which may become a full scholarship under certain conditions (e.g. after fulfilling required service/bond obligations).
JPA plays an important role in helping Malaysian students — especially those with strong academic standing — gain access to tertiary or overseas education, while aligning the outcomes with national public‑service and workforce development goals.
