We are excited to announce the inaugural batch of eight Malaysians to receive GXBank’s Impian Gigih Biasiswa scholarships! This follows the launch of the programme in June 2024 aimed at providing financial assistance and mentorship to deserving students from across Malaysia in their academic journey.
In receiving the scholarships, the eight inspiring and courageous scholars from underserved communities and a variety of backgrounds, demonstrated their academic excellence, community involvement and dedication in pursuing promising fields of studies.
At a specially arranged awards ceremony at GXBank’s office in Petaling Jaya, Hildah Hamzah, Chief of Staff at GXBank, emphasised the Bank’s commitment to supporting the nation’s best and brightest in their academic pursuit. “At GXBank, we believe that every Malaysian has a right to education and the opportunity to transform their lives and reach their full potential. A person’s financial situation should not be a barrier to achieving their dreams. We admire their dedication and resilience, and we want to be there for them and future Impian Gigih scholars in creating a positive impact in their communities and the nation.”
The scholarship will cover tuition, fees and other educational expenses for the duration of the scholars’ tertiary education. They will also have access to mentors from GXBank and support services to help them succeed in their academic and professional endeavours.
Impian Gigih Biasiswa is one of three pillars in GXBank’s larger Financial and Inclusion and Literacy (FIL) plan - Impian GIGih. Impian GIGih aims to drive financial inclusion and literacy and encourage intergenerational social mobility, with a focus on three foundational pillars:
- Enhancing Financial Wellbeing: Providing equitable and inclusive access to financial services tailored to their needs
- Ensuring Educational Accessibility: Alleviating the cost of education of their children so they can further themselves without worries
- Promoting Financial Literacy: Empowering Malaysians to make more informed financial decisions and planning for themselves and their families
