Scholarships
Transforming the Sunway Education Trust Fund into the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation (JCF) in 2010 marked a major turning point in Malaysia’s educational funding landscape.
Overview
Our visionary founder, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Sir Dr Jeffrey Cheah KBE AO, made an impactful decision to bring his vision of social giving to life. Making history in educational philanthropy, he took a bold step by transferring the equity of Sunway Education Group’s learning institutions, worth billions of Ringgit, to the foundation.
Under the steadfast and distinguished guidance of our Board of Trustees, JCF remains unwavering in its commitment to our core values. Every student, regardless of their family background, financial status, or ethnicity, deserves access to high-quality education.
Our Approaches
With over RM745 million in scholarships awarded, our foundation’s steadfast commitment has made a substantial impact on the educational pursuits of deserving Malaysians in various disciplines. It has ignited hope and possibility, changing lives and our nation’s path.
Through scholarships and guidance, our mission is to empower students, ensuring a future brimming with promise and success. With unwavering zeal, the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation strives to nurture the next generation of leaders, instilling in them a burning desire to give back to society, not just within Malaysia, but on a global scale.
