"Our mission is to promote cultural and educational ties between Russia and Malaysia through various programs, events, and initiatives. One of our main activities is offering Malaysian students the opportunity to further their studies in Russia under the Russian Government Scholarship Program.
"This program enables Malaysian students to obtain government-sponsored education in Russia, providing them with valuable academic and cultural experiences," according to the statement.
This scholarship is open to all Malaysian citizens who have graduated from high school, vocational school, or college. Eligible candidates can apply for a scholarship to pursue a Bachelor's Degree program or pursue Secondary Vocational Education.
