Looks like you don't know anything about tertiery education. And your'e just asking for someone to spoonfeed you. Info on matrics, STPM, scholarships are given by the school counsellor, what's what they're paid to do. BTW if you want matric and haven't filled in the form your'e too late. Tell me your trial results and I'll show you whats best for you.
But I must note that your topic title is misleading. After SPM is now. That means lepak, movies, looking for jobs etc. What you should have put is education after SPM. My 2 cents.

I know just a bit.

Yeah I submitted my matrics form before the deadline.

Trial 9A's 2B's.

Actually I dont really want to be spoonfed, just give me a place to start. Newspaper or website or someplace.

Well then, you don't need to be looking for info on matrics anymore. That's done. So is UPU form. Now, my advice is, since you are an A student, ask for every imaginable scholarship you can find, perticularly UTP (Petronas) and PSD (public service department). So jus buy newspapers everyday, go to edu fairs and isi borang la! About websites I'm not too sure. Anyone can recommend anythin?

U can always apply JPA/petronas/Proton/Telekom scholarship with matriculation result.

So lets say I get the scholarship, would I be able to go overseas with that?Or do I enrol in something else (pre-U or something) first?

okay... here we go.

i. matriculation and any foundation courses cannot be used to apply for oversea universities. they are strictly for malaysian universities ONLY.

ii. JPA or any other bodies awarding scholarship will only offer u IF, and only IF u have received an unconditional offer letter from the oversea university that u have applied. actually, u can only apply IF u have the offer letter. if dont have, then cannot lah. (this supports darkages' statement).

iii. so to apply to oversea universities, they will require A-level or STPM or equivalent for a degree course. and mind u, malaysian scholarships only offer to a degree programme and above. so no diploma or a-levels overseas.
so to put it simply:

after spm, get ur a-levels/STPM.
with that result, apply to the oversea university.
with the offer letter, apply for sponsorship.
with that sponsorship, pegi berambus and belajar and make everybody proudlah!

My understanding is, after SPM, u can get a scholarship from JPA, Pertonas, etc., and from there, get full scholarship for A level in the country AND first degree overseas, not degree only.. Am I correct?
Another question; Can I enter Malaysian Uni with A levels? What r my chances when stacked up beside STPM and Matric students?

Another important question; I want to go to England in Jan or Feb for a holiday. But I'm afraid that during my absence, scholarships and UTP will open for application. Should I phone them to ask specifically when the adverts in newspapers will come out, or will it be an online application where I don't need to sign anything, therefore not worry?
And for how long do they open registration? Untill SPM results? Thanks a million.
