No special Petronas quota for students from oil producing states

The Petronas Education Sponsorship Programme is opened to all Malaysians who want to pursue tertiary education, including those from non-oil-producing states.

“The PESP is offered to eligible students based on merit,” he said in response to a supplementary question from Awang Husaini Sahari .Kurup said the educational infrastructure in Sabah and Sarawak was far behind those of the other states and that could affect the quality of education and sponsorship opportunities for students.

“Since 2010, a total of 3,426 students have received the sponsorship amounting to RM874 million,” he said.
