Based on the Budget 2016 revision that was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on 28 January 2016, four Public Service Department (JPA) sponsorship programmes will continue for 2016.
Program Biasiswa Nasional
Top 20 SPM students will be able to pursue their studies at leading universities abroad
Program Penajaan Bursary (BURS)
744 students to pursue undergraduate studies at public and private institutions of higher learning in Malaysia

In addition, other programmes that will continue are:
- MyBrain15
- Academic Training Scheme for Bumiputera (SLAB)
- Academic Training Scheme of Public Higher Education Institutions (SLAI)
- National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) – RM5bil is allocated for undergraduate study loans
Although the government has reintroduced these four JPA scholarships programmes, competition will be stiff as the number of awards for each programme has been reduced. Also, many other scholarship programmes have been put on hold.
Updates on these scholarships can be found on JPA's website http://www.jpa.gov.my while online applications must be made at http://esilav2.jpa.gov.my/
