The HOPE programme is established to coordinate the placement of students who are unable to secure a place in local public universities in Malaysia (IPTA), into academic programmes offered by local private universities, university colleges and approved colleges (IPTS).

Students enrolled by the consortium are eligible to pay ’subsidised fees’ arranged by the foundation, which is comparable to those charged by local universities.

The foundation is also able to introduce and recommend various funding and loans by financial bodies and institutions to ensure that quality education is within reach of all Malaysian SPM and STPM school-leavers.
