Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
A blended, online-friendly Malaysian university built around Islamic Studies, Education and Business.
Al-Madinah International University (MEDIU) is based in Shah Alam with a strong online and blended delivery model, making it distinctive among Malaysian private universities. Its clearest strength is Islamic Studies, taught within Malaysia's Islamic and common-law academic context, alongside Education, Business and Information Technology. Because delivery is flexible rather than fully residential, families should confirm on-campus attendance requirements and student-pass eligibility for the specific course before applying. International tuition typically runs RM20,000–RM50,000+ a year, at the more affordable end of Malaysia's private-university range.

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 MEDIU'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.
