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.
