Dr. Wahid Omar said in a simple ceremony held at the Banquet Hall, Sultan Ibrahim Chancellery Building, Johor Bahru campus.<br \/>\nThe main purpose of this endowment fund establishment is\u00a0to provide scholarships to UTM students in the undergraduate programme who excel in their studies. In addition, this fund is also used to sponsor a professorial chair, research, publication of scientific materials and high impact programmes.<br \/>\nIn March 2013, Johor Port signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UTM for sponsorship of the RM5 million to UTM Endowment Fund, with which RM1 million will be donated annually. So far, a total of RM3 million has been\u00a0donated to the Endowment Fund.<br \/>\nThe Vice Chancellor also informed that the UTM Marine Technology Centre changed its name to the UTM- Johor Port Marine Technology Centre as a tribute to that corporate entity in respect of the contributions made.<br \/>\nSince its establishment in 2009, UTM Endowment Fund has collected a fund of RM81 million and successfully sponsored a total of 600 student scholarships.<br \/>\nAn endowment fund was established with the purpose of leading the education, welfare and to assist.
