Overview
Imperium International College has awarded many scholarships to encourage academically inclined Malaysian and international students who display leadership qualities to pursue tertiary education at our institutions. Many of these recipients have completed their courses and have embarked on successful careers. Imperium International College welcomes both new and continuing students of merit to apply for scholarships and study awards.
To date, we have given out approximately RM2 million in scholarships and bursaries.
