In recognising the evolving nature of the banking industry, CIMB welcomes applicants from a wide variety of academic disciplines. We have previously sponsored applicants studying Computer Science, Data Science and Psychology, apart from degrees traditionally associated with a career in banking such as Accounting, Economics, Finance.
Basic eligibility:
The assessment process is as follows:
We welcome applicants from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Philippines. Applicants are also required to possess an unconditional offer for their academic studies from a top-tier university in the world OR a top-tier university in their respective home country/ASEAN region by the time the scholarship is awarded. Students with a minimum of 1 full academic year of study may also apply.

Our scholarship is open to applicants from a wide variety of academic disciplines- Business & marketing, economics, finance, sciences & engineering, social sciences and digital and data related courses. However, please note that all scholars are expected to return to CIMB upon completion of study. As such, applicants should foresee themselves building a career in the financial and banking industry.
