The Alumni Scholarship Project (Alumni Scholarship) is an initiative by the Alumni Relations Center (ARCUPM) to bring UPM alumni to contribute to the financial aspects of Alma Mater. Fill in scholarships to students in diploma and bacelor studies programs especially to B40 and ASNAF students to ensure that the student's learning needs are met and thus reduce the burden of students in their daily lives. The alumni scholarship funding project has been around since 2017 and is welcomed by alumni who have donated scholarships through private or group companies with other alumni partners.

The funding of alumni scholarships conducted throughout the year is targeting students from the B40 and Asnaf groups. Scholarship funding initiatives are improved through group funding methods aimed at attracting new contributors who want to contribute slightly but consistently on a monthly basis. A total of seven (7) new sponsors identified for 2021 are TMJ Friendly Travel and Tours, Cyperus 92 (2.0) Chapter Scholarships, AMCO Business Scholarships AgriCSC'94 Scholarships, Menteri Besar Selangor Scholarships, College Alumni Scholarships and Salak Welfare Society Scholarships. Subsequently, the Alumni Relations Center continued to seek new sponsors for 2021 through the program implementation and meetings with former student leaders who were active in co-curricular activities.

In the event of the implementation of the alumni scholarship funding project for the year 2021, it is able to produce holistic and sustainable graduates and motivate students to constantly make every effort in academics. The grant of alumni scholarships also provides a foundation for less capable students in ease their burden through the provision of more comfortable educational facilities and facilities.

As a responsibility center that plays a role in mobilizing alumni relations activities, the Alumni Relations Center is always in line with the university's desire to strengthen alumni relationships and networks by implementing various programs and projects to strengthen alumni relationships with the university.
