2. OUTBOUND MOBILITY PROGRAM INCENTIVE
the Outbound Mobility Program Incentive is an incentive introduced by i-PUTRA for UPM students who will be joining any outbound mobility program during their study period in UPM. Beginning 2021, this incentive has also included any mobility program conducted virtually. UPM students who satisfy the eligibility requirement can be considered to receive this incentive from i-PUTRA. The eligibility requirement can be found below.
*For postgraduate students going for research attachment with a duration of more than one month, please apply under the mobility scheme provided by the School of Graduate Studies
Disclaimer:
The eligibility rate for the Outbound Mobility Incentive allocation will be decided based upon the criteria stated. The selection criteria listed also apply to international students.
However, the approval for the Outbound Mobility Incentive will be solely decided by the Mobility Committee Meeting. Therefore, please be reminded that the amount that is approved may not reflect the amount stated in the financial aid allocation.

Local postgraduate students who will be undertaking their research attachment abroad may instead apply for the financial aid offered by the School of Graduate Studies (SGS). For more information regarding the financial aid for postgraduates, the information can be accessed here.
