Melaka, Malaysia
A Melaka state university focused on education, business and health sciences.
Universiti Melaka is a state university with an education and applied-programme orientation, based in the historic city of Melaka. Its strongest programmes are Education, Business, Information Technology and Health Sciences, and its most credible graduate outcomes sit in education, business, IT and regional professional roles. Melaka itself offers a lower-pressure, historic-city lifestyle rather than the pace of Kuala Lumpur, and families should confirm accreditation and campus details carefully given the university's regional, applied-programme focus. International tuition typically runs RM20,000–RM48,000+ a year depending on programme.

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 UNIMEL'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.
