When do applications for scholarships open to all races open?
Most usually open in April, May and June, while 37 accept applications year-round. Exact dates are announced each cycle on the sponsor's official page.
Who can apply for scholarships open to all races?
Each sponsor sets its own criteria. In this list, 45 set household income as a criterion, 0 are restricted to Bumiputera students and 36 are limited to students from particular states. Read the full criteria on each scholarship's page.
How do I know which scholarships I qualify for?
Enter your SPM results, state and preferred field in Degreemate's scholarship checker. It compares your profile against each award's official criteria and shows the reason. The result is a guide, not a guarantee of an offer.
Criteria, coverage and dates change every cycle. The sponsor's official page is the authority; we link it from every scholarship page. Catalogue reviewed: August 2026.
