The foundation said in a statement that Mr O’Neill will hand over the scholarships worth up to $US500,000 (K1.54 million) to Papua New Guinean students when the event is launched at Gateway Hotel. SDF is offering scholarships for students to pursue tertiary education in Papua New Guinea and Malaysia in the fields of agriculture, engineering, human resources as well as in technical vocational studies. The scholarships being offered to successful candidates are for three international scholarships for undergraduate engineering studies at the National University of Malaysia, seven local scholarships for undergraduate and diploma studies and 14 technical vocational scholarships at selected local academic institutions. The full scholarship program covers tuition fees, lodging, living expenses, airline tickets and books.

The objectives of Yayasan Sime Darby are supported by its five pillars, namely; education, environment, community and health, youth and sports, arts and culture. While led by independent members of a governing council and managed by a dedicated team, Yayasan Sime Darby works closely with the Sime Darby Group, in areas of mutual interest.
