this scholarship is for what course?
Kpmg is one of prof accountancy firm in mlysia, isn’t it?? What is the field of studies?? Is it just for account course??
While it does not clearly specify the courses, you can actually derive from the following sentences that they are looking to sponsor students in their business related courses.
Also, as you are bonded to work for KPMG after your graduation, it is definitely more logical if they only sponsor those studying in business, finance or accounting related courses instead of physics, biology or other science courses.
In other words, accountancy related courses as KPMG is one of the Big Four in accounting business.
