This year, Fair & Lovely took a step further to establish a virtual community for these 40 recipients. The platform is to encourage these young women to interact within the community and obtain latest updates from Unilever Malaysia on available opportunities. Through the virtual community platform, Fair & Lovely is developing a program that connects students with the industry and gives them access to world-class Unilever programs. Workshops on interview skills and career sharing sessions on leadership roles for women will be provided by Unilever Malaysia’s female leaders.
For the first time, the students will also be fast-tracked for industrial placements within Unilever Malaysia. Recipients who apply for the internship placement will have an added advantage as they will be prioritised for the screening process.

“At Fair & Lovely, we believe that education, confidence and self-belief are essential to empower women and positively impact society. By creating pathways through the scholarship, career guidance and internship opportunities, we want these young women to be ready to pursue their dreams and take control of their destiny,” said Lin Meiyi, Brand Manager of Fair & Lovely, Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn. Bhd, at the ceremony.
This year, the final 40 undergraduates were chosen from seven participating local public universities with the highest votes. A total of 20,100 applications were received, compared to last year’s 12,044. Since 2016, the Fair & Lovely Scholarship has helped 80 young women undergraduates.
At the scholarship presentation ceremony, the 40 young women were given RM5,000 each as funding to assist with necessities such as tuition fees and books for their tertiary education. The 40 students shortlisted were from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (KUIS), Universiti Malaya (UM), Kolej Universiti Poly-Tech Mara (KUPTM), Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). Their requirements were a minimum of 3.0 CGPA apart from being actively involved in co-curricular activities.
More than just a beauty brand, Fair & Lovely is also a brand that shares the philosophy of encouraging women to achieve their dreams and carving out their own destiny by empowering them with inner strength and confidence. Present at the event, professional speaker, Wawa Idris conducted a personal development and grooming workshop to further boost the students’ confidence.
Nor Fazira binti Zarinol, one of the scholarship recipients from University Malaya quoted, “I am so thankful to be one of the winners of the Fair & Lovely Scholarship this year! I am glad that with this scholarship, I will be able to focus on my studies as I would not need to work part time to fund my studies for the upcoming semester. Thanks to Fair & Lovely, I am excited to know that all scholarship recipients will have career and leadership opportunities through industrial placements with Unilever Malaysia. This will make me more confident when the time comes for me to attend job interviews and eventually start my career!”
