Download - THE YTL SCHOLAR
THE YTL SCHOLAR Your academic degree matters to us, but we believe it takes much more than an academic qualification alone to shape young, caring and passionate leaders. This is why YTL Foundation will invest in you during your course of study and beyond. We will provide you with training, internships, mentoring and access to a global community of scholars to complement your education, build your confidence and prepare you for the workplace.
A GLOBAL COMMUNITY YTL Foundation aims to build a strong community of scholars who work as a collective force to make a di�erence. We create opportunities for you to make new friends with your peers. Get-togethers are organised and a closed group Facebook page is created for you to communicate and lend support to each other.
This community starts as soon as you are accepted into the programme. You will take part in an induction programme to get to know YTL and other scholars in a fun and welcoming environment.
THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
Our scholars go through a leadership programme during which they have the opportunity to gain exposure to senior leaders within the YTL Group and are empowered to develop their confidence and intrinsic leadership capabilities. You will be coached over the course of your academic career to continue in your personal development with the goal of helping you realise your full potential.
BUILD YOUR SKILLS Our scholars gain unique, interactive experiences aimed at supporting their personal growth in skills which are vital to success in the workplace. The opportunity to participate in the innovative and creative programmes that YTL Foundation and the YTL Group run in primary and secondary schools will also provide you with skill sets that will help support your personal growth.
HANDS ON EXPERIENCE
The best way to learn is through hands on experience, which is why we create internships for our scholars within the YTL Group each year. You may gain exposure to event management, infrastructure development, business activities and/or educational programmes. Your internship will give you a clearer idea of the YTL work culture and what it is like to work for a company running a diversified global business.
AFTER GRADUATION
Upon graduation you will be fast tracked to interview for a role with YTL and if successful, be bonded to the company for between 5-7 years. This level of job continuity can provide you with the confidence of a secure foundation from which you can thrive in your career.
SCHOLARSHIP PROSPECTUS
Since YTL started over 60 years ago, we have
been an advocate of raising the standards of
education and ensuring that hard working,
talented individuals have the opportunity to
excel.
We believe that the future generation holds
the key to a progressive and successful nation
and this belief lies at the heart of the YTL
Scholarship Programme. From the technical
world of Engineering to the creative world of
the humanities, YTL Scholars have been given
the opportunity to pursue their dreams and
ambitions locally and internationally and
continue to achieve great success in their
respective fields.
We are immensely proud of our scholars as

In 1997, YTL Foundation was established to
provide opportunities for aspiring students
to achieve their dreams. The goal was also
to nurture and develop future leaders for
our nation. The Foundation aims to assist
scholars who have the potential to become
outstanding citizens and have a high
commitment to the community. The
selection of candidates is based on a
number of criteria which include academic
achievement, leadership qualities,
involvement in community and
non-curricular activities. But most
importantly we are looking for smart, gritty
young people who embody our core values.
Scholarships are awarded annually to
successful candidates to enable them to
attend reputable and recognized colleges or
universities in the country and exceptionally
overseas.

awarded to almost 400 outstanding
students from across the country who have
since graduated from a range of disciplines
and returned to serve YTL and the country.
At YTL Foundation, we believe that we can
build a better society through better
education. Alongside our scholarships, we
deliver a number of programmes that are
transforming education throughout
Malaysia and support innovation and
creativity in teaching and learning in primary
and secondary schools. We o�er
opportunities for our scholars to get
involved in these programmes from their
first year, which for many have been
enriching and meaningful experiences.

DAVID PRINCEAlumni working in YTL
Caryl is our first Yeoh Tiong Lay Scholar, who
started studying law at the University of
Cambridge in 2015.
What was your experience of applying for a
scholarship?
The process was a lot less formal than other
scholarship applications and more personal. I felt
relaxed, and could tell that being a YTL Scholar is
di�erent than being a scholar for another company.
You meet interesting people and it feels more like a
family.
What di�erence has the Yeoh Tiong Lay
Scholarship made to your life?
This whole chapter of my life! I wouldn’t have been
able to come to Cambridge and study here without
the scholarship. YTL wants to make a di�erence in
their scholars’ lives, to help them grow and
develop, and my family are happy I’m
getting the extra support.
What does the future hold for you?
I hope to continue picking up di�erent skills, and
I’m looking forward to seeing the reality of working
for the company whether at YTL Foundation, Frog
Asia or the Legal Department.
What would you say to someone else thinking of
applying for a scholarship?
Go for it! You don’t have anything to lose, and even
if you aren’t successful you will gain experience
and new skills in a professional environment.
You never know, God may open the door!
You’ll never know unless you try.
