Tun Fatimah Hj Hashim Gold Medal

Yayasan Kadir & Fatimah has provided the Tun Fatimah Haji Hashim Gold Medal to the best female graduate from three public universities since 2007. In 2006, the Board of Trustees of YKF decided that rewarding outstanding female students would help encourage more women to excel academically and achieve new feats, following in the footsteps of Tun Fatimah.

Each chosen university has a personal attachment to Tun Fatimah Hj Hashim. For example, Tun Fatimah used to be on the Board of Directors for University Malaya (UM) and was Pro-Chancellor for Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Johor in 1995. YKF also provides a medal for University Teknologi MARA (UiTM). UM has two Gold Medal recipients annually because they are the biggest public university in Malaysia and have the largest student body.

Currently, recipients of the Tun Fatimah Hj Hashim Gold Medal receive one gold medal and RM 2,500 in cash.
