Jeffrey Cheah Foundation champions quality education for all

Article - October 3, 2011
The Jeffrey Cheah Foundation’s principles are ingrained in one ideal – that quality education should not be denied to those deserving, and that there should be a means, through scholarships, for those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed

The key to a meaningful life and true satisfaction comes from being able to give to society and leave behind a lasting contribution that makes a real difference, according to Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Jeffrey Cheah, founder of the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation. “I like to see young minds being educated,” he says. “Education brings out the best in people. That is why I am so passionate in giving to society through education.”

Launched last year, the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation is a first of its kind in Malaysia for private education institutions. It is modeled on some of the oldest and most eminent universities in the world, emulating what John Harvard did for Harvard University over 360 years ago.

Dr. Cheah has locked shares worth RM700 million ($235 million) from the education arm of his business, the Sunway Education Group, into the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation as the realization of his vision to create a timeless commitment to benefit education access for future generations to come. The not-for-profit organization ensures that the assets, funds and operating surpluses are used to perpetuate the cause of bringing quality education to future generations of students.

To date, RM66 million ($22 million) in scholarships and bursaries have been awarded to more than 6,000 hardworking and deserving Malaysian students in various fields of study through the institutions under the Foundation. Five well-known seats of learning are owned and governed by the Foundation: Sunway University, Sunway College, Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monash University Sunway Campus, and Sunway International School. The Jeffrey Cheah Foundation also has the distinction of having two SETARA Tier 5: Excellent ranking institutions in its stable.
