SOME 13 outstanding students from the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) community are assured of a sponsored technology-based tertiary education, thanks to an initiative to produce excellent human capital that is ready to embrace challenges in the digital era.

These beneficiaries comprising grandchildren of the Felda settlers and children of Felda Group employees, including those of FGV Holdings Bhd, will form the initial cohort to pursue programmes up to the bachelor’s degree level – after having been selected from among 239 applicants vying for the scholarship.
