In 2007, NatSteel launched the Bursary Award Programme designed to enable physically disabled students to focus on their education in mainstream schools by alleviating the financial burden of the families. In 2017, the programme expanded to include students with sensory disabilities. With this programme, NatSteel aims to empower disabled students to focus on learning without having financial worries.
