The 10 recipients, eight Malaysians and two international students, were selected from various faculties \/ Kulliyyahs, ranging from the fields of Law, Economics and Management Sciences, Information and Communication Technology as well as Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences after a rigorous and stringent screening process.<\/p>\n

In addition, the scholarship also covers the tuition and hostel fees of the recipient. To date, there are 40 recipients of which 20 have graduated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to congratulate all the recipients and it gives me great pleasure to present this scholarship to the 10 deserving recipients this afternoon. It is my hope that the scholarship will serve as a motivation for them to achieve excellence in their studies. The scholarship is made possible through an innovative concept of the IIUM Perpetual Endowment Property Fund, which provides a sustainable method to generate scholarship funds for poor students who excel in their studies,\u201d said Azman. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Ceremony was also attended by the Rector of International Islamic University Malaysia, Prof. Datuk Seri Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin and Eqhwan Mokhzanee, Chief Executive Officer, AmBank Islamic Berhad.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is indeed an honour for IIUM, particularly our students to be conferred the Azman Hashim \u2013 IIUM Ummatic Scholarship. The presentation of such a prestigious scholarship has proven to be a recognition of IIUM students\u2019 talent and excellence in their studies,\u201d said Zaleha. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The scholarship award, which was first initiated in 2012, is funded by the net rental proceeds from the Azman Hashim Complex, located at the main IIUM Gombak campus. The development of the building was sponsored by Yayasan Azman Hashim in 2008 and is currently managed by the IIUM Endowment Fund (\u201cIEF\u201d) of the University along the principles of endowment where only the proceeds from the rental income are channeled into the scholarship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Azman Hashim Foundation was established primarily for education with focus on sustainability, welfare of the poor and to alleviate human suffering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
