Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) or National Higher Education Fund Corporation is an agency responsible for disbursing study loans to Malaysian students pursuing tertiary education. PTPTN also manages the Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional (SSPN-i), a Syariah-compliant education savings fund for tertiary education. The Malaysian government provides tax relief to encourage the Malaysian people to save money in SSPN-i, primarily for their children’s future tertiary education needs.
