It is our belief that learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. With that in mind, IOI Foundation dedicates itself to the advancement of human capital by providing scholarships and financial assistance to underprivileged students. The foundation supports initiatives that enhance student’s capabilities as potential leaders who can work equally with their brains and their hearts.

Student Adoption Programme
Student Adoption Programme

Our Student Adoption Programme ("Program Bantuan Pelajar") was officially launched by the Deputy Education Minister in 2008 to provide underprivileged students with equal access to basic education. Since its inception, we have successfully adopted more than 1,500 students from 204 schools within the vicinity of IOI’s plantation and property development projects. To date, the disbursed value is more than RM5 milion.

Under this programme, qualified needy adopted students will receive a school bag and cash assistance of RM1,000 for primary students and RM1,200 for secondary school students each year. By supporting and monitoring their educational needs, the foundation hopes to motivate them to excel in their studies along with easing the financial burden of their families.


Young Achiever Awards
Young Achiever Awards

Initiated in 1999, The Young Achievers Awards was introduced to invigorate and motivate children of IOI employees in striving for excellence in their studies. Cash awards, plaques and certificates of achievement are given out in an annual ceremony to reward the outstanding academic results and active curricular participation of the student recipients. In this annual event, young achievers and parents get together for a ceremony of recognition, gratitude and the pursuit of constant improvement where motivational talks are also held to develop and engage the award recipients towards continuously striving and excelling in future undertakings.

To date, IOI Foundation has given RM650,585 worth of cash prizes to approximately 1,626 young achievers in recognising their spirit of excellence. This award serves as a platform in celebrating the positive achievements of students and in inspiring them to value the importance of education.


IOI-STEM
IOI-STEM

STEM is more than just an acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM is a skill or a philosophy in a way. STEM is an approach and a way of thinking for educators – and, to a certain extent, parents – to help students integrate knowledge across subjects by incorporating flipped learning and encouraging them to think in a more logical and holistic way in order to be equipped with 21st century skills.

The subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics is where students learn the skills to gather and study information (investigative skills of science), evaluate and make sense of information (analytical skills of mathematics) and determine how the information can solve a problem (inventive skills of engineering) using the technology available to them today.

IOI Foundation is a keen supporter of the integration of STEM into students’ education. Read more here on our initiatives to promote STEM.
