The money was from the TAR UC JinBodhi Bursary set up by Bodhi Meditation Malaysia Bhd (BMMB).
This is the fourth time TAR UC and BMMB have come together to provide financial aid to underprivileged students.
From 2017 to 2019, RM2.4mil worth of financial aid had been awarded to 128 recipients.
The representatives from BMMB – Zhi Guang, Ling Shan, Xu Te and committee members – were present at the virtual award presentation ceremony, together with TAR UC president Prof Dr Lee Sze Wei and senior officials of the university college.
In his speech, Ling Shan said he hoped the students would cherish this bursary and study hard to realise their ambitions.
