Multimedia University Student Welfare Scheme

The Multimedia University (MMU) Student Welfare Scheme is set up by the Student Affairs Division, and it is one of the many services provided by MMU to fulfill its welfare obligations towards students studying in this university. This scheme covers all students with “active” status. The aim of this fund is to assist students who face difficulty in the event of an accident or death.

This scheme will be applicable to the following cases:

In case of a student’s death, a contribution amounting to RM1,000 will be given to the next-of-kin;

In case of the parent’s or guardian’s death, a contribution amounting to RM500 will be given to the student. This contribution is subjected to a maximum of two payments only, per student, and is only valid during the student’s duration of study in Multimedia

This contribution, however, will not be given if the death is due to:

war, rebelliousness or colonialism;
nuclear disaster or due to radioactive pollution;
criminal act or convicted by the court;
suicide, contraction of AIDS through immoral activities,
student’s own carelessness or dangerous act(s).

Natural disaster – Financial assistance covered in this scheme includes a one-off payment of RM500 to students whose family is directly affected by natural disasters such as flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane, and others. Financial assistance application must be supported with a confirmation from the authority.

Special case – The Student Affairs Division (STAD) Management Committee to its discretion may consider a one-off payment to any student, with approval from the President, who is of need such as medical devices, health support assistance, and others, upon receiving an official application from the student with supporting documents.

All applications submitted by the student/representative for any of the cases above must be supported with valid copies of relevant documents such as death certificates, medical treatment bills, police reports, student ID cards, and copies of other relevant letters. An application that is submitted which exceeds twelve (12) months after the event date will not be considered. All applications have to be submitted within twelve (12) months from the event date.
