南方大学基金缘起

马来西亚自独立以来，一直拥有引以为傲的多源流教育体系。随着时代进步，越来越多学生在完成义务教育后，继续升学进修高等教育。马来西亚目前拥有20所国立大学，然而激烈的竞争也让许多学子无法一圆大学梦想或无法进入理想科系。私立大专学府逐年增加，虽然为学生提供了更多的升学管道，但学费较高。因此，许多家境贫寒的学子在升学方面面对不少挑战，这些失去教育机会的孩子未来可能会面临失去社会竞争力，亦可能造成其他社会问题。有鉴于此，为那些条件欠佳的学生提供援助，使他们能在社会上有更好的发展，则成为教育工作者的一大使命。
南方大学学院董事会秉持着有教无类的精神，为此成立南方大学基金，主要目的是在不分种族ˎ宗教等因素的情况下，为有经济困难的学生们提供援助以减轻经济负担。

SOUTHERN FOUNDATION ORIGIN
Malaysia has been well known for our diverse education system. With about 20 public universities in Malaysia, our students have the opportunity and option to further their studies with various courses for selection, but there are still many who are not able to pursue their studies or not accepted to their ideal courses. For those who could not get admitted into public universities, private institutions would be their alternative path.
Despite the presence of many universities in the nation, not everyone can afford the tuition fees of private institutions. Those who did not have the opportunity to pursue a university education will likely lose their competitiveness in the society. Hence, it is important for us to provide support and opportunity for them to develop their potential and benefiting the society.
The main objective of Southern Foundation is to provide financial support to students in need regardless of their races, religions, or any other factors. In the meantime, the fund will also be used to upgrade and strengthen the academic facilities.
