Bedong (Kedah), Malaysia
A regional Kedah university built around Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, at a lower cost of living than the Klang Valley.
AIMST University sits in Bedong, Kedah, and is best known for its clinical and health-professions programmes — Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy are the courses families most often compare it on, alongside Business. Its regional setting means lower day-to-day living costs and a tighter-knit campus community than a Kuala Lumpur campus, though families should plan for more travel for flights and specialist placements. International tuition typically runs RM30,000–RM90,000+ a year, with medicine and dentistry at the top of that range. It suits students whose target is a verified health-sciences pathway rather than a big-city campus experience.

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or AIMST University's financial aid office.
Malaysian government scholarships are almost entirely restricted to Malaysian citizens. For international students, the main route is university-level merit scholarships or fee rebates, especially common at private and branch-campus universities.
Public university (UM, USM, UKM, UPM, UTM) scholarship access for international students is much more limited than at private/branch-campus universities — check directly before assuming availability.
