Higher Education Loan Fund Project (HELP) is a Japanese Higher Education Project by the Government of Malaysia which was implemented under the Look East Policy inspired by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed in 1983. Yayasan Pelajaran MARA, was appointed as the implementing agency for the HELP Project in 1993. HELP project was partly funded by the Government of Malaysia through the Project Management Grants and also loans from the Government of Japan.
The main objective is to manage and implement higher education and scholarship for Degree, Masters and PhD in engineering courses at Japan Universities to produce scientist and engineers. It is hoped that Bumiputera engineers and scientist will then take the lead in industrial, research and development and design technology in the country.
