RHB X-Cel Star Programme

Behind every scholarship is a student rewriting their future


The RHB X-Cel Star Scholarship is more than financial aid — it’s a platform to help bright young minds reach their fullest potential. Designed for top-performing students from the RHB X-Cel Programme, it opens the door to higher education in local universities and equips them with the skills to thrive in life and career.

We believe in nurturing not only scholars, but future leaders. Alongside their studies, our X-Cel Stars take part in English courses, soft skills training, leadership workshops, and mentor-mentee programmes, giving them the confidence and capabilities to shine in any path they choose.

And when graduation comes, they don’t just leave with a degree. They leave with opportunities, including the chance to build their careers with RHB.

What our scholars gain:

  • Full scholarship – easing financial burdens so they can focus on learning and growth.
  • Mentorship & coaching – guidance from educators, professionals, and industry leaders for academics, careers, and personal growth.
  • Future-ready skills – from financial literacy to leadership, digital proficiency, and employability training, preparing them for the world ahead.
Through RHB X-Cel Star, we’re investing in more than education - we’re investing in dreams, resilience, and the leaders of tomorrow.
