2500 children of veterans are eligible for free tuition at UniRazak.
The university would cover the charges for a year for children of veterans of the military forces to continue their education at Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UniRazak), according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The programme will involve 2,500 children of veterans over the course of five years at a cost of RM12,500 per student for the first year, following which the students can decide whether to continue their studies at the university or transfer to another institution.
The plan was first explored while the prime minister was senior defence minister, and the government had already agreed in principle to provide an RM 500 subsidy to individuals caring for their bedridden spouse.
