KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 — Majlis Amanah Rakyat will soon open applications for a pilot cadet financing programme, with priority to be given to tahfiz students from the STEM stream.
Mara chairman Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said advertisements and eligibility requirements for the programme would be announced soon.
“New students who wish to apply for this pilot cadet programme must meet the basic requirements set by flight training academies such as Malaysia Aviation Group and BATS Aviation. “Mara-sponsored academies must also have agreements with airlines to guarantee employment opportunities for trainees who receive Mara financing,” he said in a Facebook post today. Asyraf said the minimum requirement for the programme includes students from the science, technology, engineering and mathematics stream.
“Although the offer is open to all qualified students, priority will be given to tahfiz students from the STEM stream. “They will go through a selection process, including interviews. The final interview stage will be with the Mara chairman himself for a Quran memorisation assessment through Quran recitation verification,” he said. He added that the programme is aimed at producing more qualified Bumiputera pilots while expanding opportunities for tahfiz students in the aviation industry.
