KUALA LUMPUR: National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans for students from poor and hardcore poor families, identified through e-Kasih data, who are pursuing studies at public higher education institutions (IPTAs), will be converted into scholarships beginning next year.
PTPTN chairman Datuk Seri Norliza Rahim said the initiative, announced under Budget 2026, demonstrates the government’s concern for the welfare of students from low-income families and its commitment to providing inclusive access to higher education.
