    Abdul Jabbar (AJ) Salful Hilmi, Bachelor of Agriculture, Sustainable Production major.

    AJ is currently studying the Bachelor of Agriculture majoring in Sustainable Production. As a student with great potential, he was awarded three scholarships: the William Allen Stewart Scholarship, Ian Roach Family Scholarship and John and Olga Lawless Ziegler Scholarship.

    “My scholarships have helped me by providing all the essentials for my studies such as books and bus fares,” he said.

    “As a student, knowing that these have been taken care of has meant the world for me. I’ve had more time to enrich my undergraduate experience by getting involved with student clubs and volunteer work. I was very grateful – it has certainly been the biggest achievement of my life so far. I am even more motivated to do well in my undergraduate studies.”
