The distribution of zakat to students plays a significant role in reducing dropout rates and enhancing their motivation to pursue higher education. This study aims to examine the background of zakat recipients at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Sabah and subsequently analyse their academic achievement. The respondents consist of diploma and bachelor's degree students who received zakat assistance for the first time between October 2022 and February 2023. A qualitative approach is employed through the analysis of documents related to zakat recipients among students at UiTM Sabah and students' Grade Point Average (GPA). Descriptive statistical methods are used to determine frequencies for each variable, based on academic level, gender, zakat beneficiary category, and scholarship status. Comparisons are also made between the GPAs obtained by students during the March to August 2022 semester and the October 2022 to February 2023 semester. The findings indicate that the academic achievement of students receiving zakat for the first time is moderate. It is hoped that these findings will provide valuable insights to the university and the zakat management, contributing to efforts aimed at improving the academic performance of students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.
