hei...is anybody applying for the star education fund 2010? There are some scholarships to universities like Uni of Nottingham that states "Foundation leading to... (a list of bachelors degree)". Does that mean the scholarship covers the full duration of studies from foundation level to degree or is it only for the foundation level? Thx ya...

Here's a scholarship covering many construction fields including architecture studies in local universities only - something worth noting even if you're aiming for overseas.
It's offered by construction firm Titijaya Group.

Besides architecture, the scholarship covers many other construction-related areas such as C. Engineering, Surveying, Business/marketing, property, etc.

Check out the scholarship details here.

can anyone provide some links for the scholarships which is still applicable to study abroad?

Depends on where you want to study though. There's one currently for liberal art studies at Lingnan University Hong Kong.

Is there any scholarship that gives full sponsorship which the applicant does not have to pay a single cents?Cause i see most scholarships gives full tuition fees waiver and the applicant still have to pay for the exam fees and whatsoever.
Thanks to whoever that reply

Usually scholarships provided by learning institutions for studies in their own programmes are the ones covering only tuition fees - a marketing strategy to let tell the world that they are providing scholarships yet reducing costs by still charging invisible administrative/resource fees. These are usually less competitive because you are only competing against students applying to the same school.

The 'true' waivers you referred to are more commonly found in scholarships given by external/private sources such as charitable and philanthropy foundations. Ocassionaly, there are also multinational corporations using bonded scholarships as a means to secure the best brains in the market. The funding usually go all out to cover travelling costs, all learning expenses, books purchasing, and/or living expenses. These are usually highly competitive and calls for true merit since only the cream will be selected regardless of which institution applied.

Some similar scholarships which are open at the moment:

Cambridge Tun Suffian Scholarships (Law)
Panasonic Scholarships (Science/technology courses)
MEASAT Scholarships (Aerospace)
Fujitsu Scholarships
Intel Scholarships

Some of them are postgraduate-only, please take note.

Thanks.

I just get my STPM few days ago and my cgpa was only 3.25 with 1A and 3B,it is possible to get any scholarship if I wanna study in private universities since the chance for me to getting in accounting degree in local universities is quite low or even impossible.

3.25 is not too bad, if you're looking at accounting courses. Admission should not be a problem, but if you're looking at full scholarships, it may be slightly more difficult to find one.

Have you considered KTAR/UTAR for accounting? From a costing point of view, as they offer a solid course for the buck as opposed to other private U such sa Sunway or Monash.

That is the matter,3.25 is enough to get in accounting course but hardly to get full scholarship.

Actually,UTAR/KTAR should be okay for me,if only in term in financial issue,but the degree they offer did not recognized by most of the accounting committee.I am looking for university like MMU(recognized by MIA) or Monash(which you can pursue to CPA later on) but the tuition fee for these college is high.

I would suggest looking into the university's own scholarships first (Monash scholarship or Sunway scholarship). If you do not qualify, the only other way is to go for loans.

As far as I know, PTPTN charges 1% for their loans. I'm not sure if it's the lowest, but worth a shot since PTPTN coversw most IPTA and IPTS courses.

As for banks. let me look up some information and get back here if I find any.


What are your results? The One cademy does not provide any internal scholarships, so you will have to look at external sources.
