Malaysian Scholarship 2008 ATTACK
(Yes, despite despising the bond that is attached to most, if not all, scholarships, Ern Sheong is embarking on a Malaysian Scholarship ATTACK while ignoring the bond part, at least for now during the application stage. Good thing for him that SPM results were already released, so there are abundant scholarship options NOW. Many of these still accept post Pre-U students (A Levels in my case).
His options, after his not-so-comprehensive and not-so-encompassing research online and input from his dear mummy, are 12 Malaysia overseas scholarships: Name of Scholarship (Deadline)
- Biasiswa Khazanah Global (26 March)
- Shell Malaysia Scholarship (31 March)
- Yayasan Telekom Malaysia Scholarship (31 March)
- Securities Commission (31 March)
- Bank Negara Scholarship (11 April)
- Yayasan Sime Darby Scholarship (31 March, only for selected UK and Aus universities, sorry US ppl)
- Yayasan Tenaga Nasional (16 March, I discovered this at the last minute!)
- Felda Scholarship Programme (22 March)
- Gamuda Scholarship Awards (15 April)
- Great Eastern Scholarship Award (31 May)
- Astro Scholarship (20th April)
- CIMB Scholarship (only for CIMB employees’ children)
Yeah so if you guys heard of any other OVERSEAS scholarships around here in Malaysia which is not listed above kindly comment here. And yeah I purposely omitted Petronas and JPA (don’t think they take in A level students anyway, and I was already rejected by them earlier).
Why BNM or SC or CIMB would accept a person intending to do an electrical engineering degree is anyone’s guess. Though with a Management Science or Operations Research course they might still accept me somehow.
Hope this helps those with the same situation as mine too: Want to go overseas but too expensive to pay on your own. ACT NOW!
UPDATED: Yayasan Sime Darby Scholarship added (No. 6); Yayasan Tenaga Nasional deadline and link updated (No. 7); Felda Holdings Berhad Scholarship added (No.8); Gamuda Scholarsip Awards (No.9); Great Eastern Scholarship (No. 10); deadline for BNM Scholarship added; status of CIMB scholarship added; Astro Scholarship updated
