RISDA (Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority) offers scholarships for children of registered rubber and palm oil smallholders in Malaysia. Like FELDA, RISDA's scholarship programme targets a specific community — the families of independent smallholders who grow rubber and oil palm outside of estate or FELDA schemes. These are often families in rural Peninsular Malaysia who have contributed to Malaysia's agricultural economy for generations. The RISDA scholarship is open to Malaysian students pursuing undergraduate study at local universities, with preference for fields that support Malaysia's agricultural and development agenda — agribusiness, engineering, economics, and science. Students who qualify based on smallholder background should treat RISDA alongside FELDA as part of a targeted application strategy — both are government-funded scholarships with eligibility tied to agricultural community status, and applying to both maximises your chances. MyScholar lists RISDA alongside FELDA and other community-specific scholarships.
