The company’s coveted Petronas Education Sponsorship Programme extends its reach to deserving international students from far-flung territories -- areas where Petronas operates -- in a meritorious display of its belief in developing and enriching the international pool of talents. Furthermore, granting the opportunity to them underscores the company’s commitment to enrich the communities where it is present.
Fatima, a Myanmarese PESP recipient studying in UTP said Petronas' student liaison officers had gone above and beyond to ensure that she had access to all resources during her first few months in Malaysia. This is especially important for a young person who considers her family her “backbone”. “My father, a merchant, spent most of his income on educating my siblings and I, and he never once complained about his hardships, ” she says, which makes her more determined to make him proud by excelling in her tertiary education.
Making up part of the diverse community of students at UTP is Rehan, who had studied and resided in Uganda in addition to her home country of South Sudan. Having a lawyer for a father and a businesswoman for a mother, Rehan aspires to be both a successful petroleum engineer upon graduation and to eventually run her own successful business one day. “I learnt about responsibility at a young age as I was like a second mother to my four younger siblings, ” she says.
