Held on 10 February 2024, the UMPSA Love Pilgrimage Programme is a university-led outreach initiative by UMPSA aimed at supporting outstanding students from B40 (low-income) families in accessing higher education. Through this programme, UMPSA leadership personally visited the homes of selected students to deliver admission offer letters, offering encouragement and reaffirming the university’s commitment to educational access and equity.
Supported by Yayasan UMPSA, the initiative also provided household essentials to the students’ families to ease their financial burden.
