Sunway Education Trust was established in 1997
My dream and vision have always been to share numerous successes achieved by the Sunway Education Group with bright, deserving students in need so that their lives may be changed for the better.
Since its inception, the Trust has benefited tens of thousands of Malaysian students to further their studies. To date, more than RM745 million worth of scholarships have been awarded.
