The MAHSA University Blue Ribbon Scholarship (MBRS) is a tuition-fee scholarship offered by MAHSA University in Malaysia, introduced as part of the university's 20th anniversary. It is open to both local and international students of all nationalities who enrol full-time in a MAHSA Foundation programme that leads to a Bachelor's degree in Science, Business or Arts. The award provides a 100% waiver of tuition fees for the Foundation programme, priority access to on-campus accommodation when reserved at least 1 month before check-in, and access to academic and personal mentors throughout the study period. Eligibility is based on results: the Foundation in Science route requires at least 5 SPM or O-Level credits including 2 Science subjects and 1 Mathematics subject, while the Business and Arts routes require at least 5 credits in any subjects. To keep the scholarship, holders must maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.0, keep at least 80% class attendance, and may be asked to complete up to 120 hours of volunteer or extracurricular service per year. Living and personal expenses are not covered by the award.
