i beg to differ lo...usually top scorers won't get..

i got engineering in local ipts...

As you are aware, scores is not the only aspect of getting the scholarship, still got financial background, interview performance and co curriculum achievements.

Example, 13A1 applicant, sucks in coco, play-a-fool interview, father has a monthly salary of 15k. Do you think the applicant deserve the scholarship?

By the way, anyone got calls from JPA officers yet??? Still no sign....

huh call from jpa? any reason for that?

ya loh.. usually they just send the letters rite? no reason to call...

anyway, i got IPTS for acct.

You no heard from friends meh?
1 got ipta scholarship and matric, jpa called him to go matric, after matric then provide scholarship to degree lvl in local u.

1 got overseas to korea(if i m not mistaken), got her call yesterday, need her to prepare for intake at ITEC this sunday.

do u mean Intec?

they will most likely send u an official letter + contracts to sign, calling is kinda inofficial

nelson how is ur koko?

father 15k salary should not play a part IMO.
scholarships should be based on academic merit.
for everything else there are loans.

and besides,
if u compare 15k salary with 10k salary.
10k salary, with 2 sons getting JPA.
compare that with 15k salary with 2 kids, nobody gets JPA.
the person with 15k gonna easily be financially constrained than the person earning 10k.
just so you know, even michael jordan's son is getting a scholarship.

and if financial background is taken into account, why do rich ppl need to study?
then people will start complaining bout rich brats , spoiled kids. lol

jz my 2 cents, dont mean to personally offend any1. sorry if i did.

I didnt get JPA with 10A1 1A2 (not very shining result anyway)... My friends who got 12A1 and 13A1 (both with GCE-O A1 too like me) also didnt get. Anyway congratulation nelson =)

BTW I am from a single parent family, income less than RM1k, 2 children, active in coco (lots of kawad kaki competition including mewakili zon)...

Just wait for the offer letter...your intake would be at the end of june...

and congratz to all who received the scholarship

none of my friends got the scholarship....lol

ya i hav no patience to wait long, hope it come out asap...
btw anyone knows when we enrole into the foundation?

SPM result: 11 1A (core subjects + Phy, Bio, chem, Est, Add. Maths, PSV)
GCEO: 1A
Gerko CGPA (2 years): 9.425
Family income: 3000< x<4000, where x is my family income.
Location: Kuching City, Sarawak.
Course offered: Pharmacy
Country: none (tiada)
Status: non-bumi
Interview: I think it was better than my English Oral tests because I could speak fluently without a single script.


Guys, I wanna ask, since we accept the offer already, is there any chance JPA may change their minds and cancel the offer to us? You know, many people complain and so they may change their stand... haha... Well, please tell me that I'm thinking too much.

i have a friend who gets the Korea Engineering, got a phone yesterday, called her to enroll herself this Sunday in Shah Alam.
Do anyone has info about France Engineering?
how long does one need to study in local before he can off to oversea?

wow great!! congratzz...... lol u really thinking too much..

Scholarship can come in several forms, given out on certain criteria.
For JPA scholarship, family income is one of the criteria.

Michael Jordan's son should not be a scholarship in the form of financial aid. Perhaps a scholarship based on academic excellence or sports.

Please be clear about the scholarship discussed before comment.

Hmm..

UH UH..
im so blur. so we're doing our pre u local?
i applied for engineering course.
my spm result wasnt that good. 7a1 4a2
but i talk alot during interview. maybe thats why i got it

first of all, Congrats! another scholar.
Yeap. You cant just study in overseas' varsity using spm qualification, you need something more!

Most probably you are doing your Pre-U locally if you are going for an English-speaking country.
But I heard somewhere that last year German Engineering is placed in KBU for German language 0.5 year, followed by 1 year AUSMAT.
Not sure about the AUSMAT though, but the German language is done there.
For Korean Engineering, you do your foundation/Pre-U there if I am not mistaken. You just study Korean locally.

man! tanjinjack, you are very good at this....where you get the info from? You got the offer too?
