Introduction
To ensure direct, transparent, and hassle-free disbursement of financial assistance, the Sarawak State Government uses S PAY GLOBAL (formerly known as Sarawak Pay) as the official digital channel for student living stipends.
Under FTES guidelines, eligible undergraduates from households with a per capita income of RM 1,500/month or below receive an annual living allowance of RM 10,000 disbursed directly through S PAY GLOBAL (with an additional RM 5,000 managed directly by the university for housing).
Here is how to set up, verify, and secure your S PAY GLOBAL account to receive your stipend payouts smoothly.
