What is the Axiata Young Talent Programme?
The Axiata Young Talent Programme sponsors young Malaysians at three entry levels:
1. National Secondary School Programme
2. International Baccalaureate Pre-University Programme
3. Undergraduate Degree Programme
The Axiata Young Talent Programme is more than just a scholarship. It is a holistic development programme blending
educational excellence with extra-curricular programmes to develop future world-class corporate leaders. Admission

classroom. This is achieved through academic support and participation in the Ax-Factor curriculum which nurtures
individuals in areas of attitude, leadership, critical thinking, communication and creativity.
