Recipients of this scholarship can pursue any four year degree, including the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery and the Bachelor of Dental Surgery. One additional Malaysian student may be awarded the Adelaide Sarawak Alumni Scholarship for $2,000, which is based on academic performance and financial need; it can be renewed for up to three years.
