Malaysian Technical Cooperation Scholarships for Developing Students

The Malaysian Technical Cooperation Scholarships Program (MTCP) was established in 1980 as Malaysia’s commitment to South-South Cooperation through the sharing of Malaysia’s development experiences and expertise with other developing countries.

The grant is a fully funded award offered to aspirants from developing countries. This scholarship will cover almost all costs of study from travel to accommodation incurred towards a postgraduate degree in Malaysia.

The objectives of the MTCP are:

To share the experience with other developing countries;
To strengthen bilateral ties with developing countries;
To encourage and promote South-South Cooperation; and
To encourage and promote technical cooperation within developing countries.

MTCP is premised on the principle that the development of a country is dependent on the quality of its human capital and resources. MTCP emphasizes human resources development mainly through training and capacity-building courses including short-term courses at Malaysian public and private training institutions, and long-term courses at Malaysian public universities.

Annually, Malaysia’s flagship MTCP offers more than 60 technical training and capacity-building programmes in vast areas of development to developing countries in collaboration with leading local training institutions and international development partners. To date, more than 34,500 participants from 144 developing countries have benefited from the various programmes offered under the MTCP.
