To those applying for MyBrain scholarship,

Should I scan my IC directly and upload it to the website

or

Should I make a photocopy of my IC and certify it, then only scan it and upload it?

Thanks

When I applied the scholarship last year, I certified everything before upload ..

How long does it take for them to reply after you have submitted the form?

How do you manage to keep the PDF file size below 300kb after scanning it?

Even if certifying the cert, I'm sure you still need to scan it with colour, correct? If like that, the file size would be very huge.

No need colour. By the way, use the link provided by the MyBrain to convert your file to the desired size.

I see. Thanks for the info.

You manage to secure the scholarship?

Yup. Fortunately, my Master have both Science and Art... Otherwise, will be rejected. Lot of my classmates under MBA have been rejected because of this.

For you, PhD should not be a problem.

I hope so...

hi, mind if I ask what Master course are you taking?

I took MM (IT), but next month Msc (IA)

hi, i need some assistance. i am planning to apply for mymasters. i got accepted in a local uni for masters and got the offer letter. i've not studied at a local uni before and i really dont know how things work there. anyway, mine is a mixed mode program and a research proposal is required. the problem is that i dont even have a supervisor to certify or acknowledge my proposal. is it possible to send in the application without the proposal? pls help...

i don't think you need to send a proposal for mix mode. only pure research-based need to send proposal

hi guys, wanna ask hor.. after the 1st semester v paid for ourselves in advance then claim bck using receipt.. how about 2nd sem onwards? also same or v dont have to pay in advance anymore?

and any deadline for us to submit the "report kemajuan"?

also wanna ask if under this scholarship, can we register company (sdn bhd) with our names??

thank you very much

I read the requirements that even Mix Mode have to submit the research proposal with the approval of the supervisor.

You better call up MyBrain MOHE to check with them whether it is necessary for your case. They can be quite particular with the requirements.

Thanks a lot seanwc101 and Blofeld. I tried callin them but no reply, maybe still in the raya holiday mood. so i've emailed them but yt to receive any reply. i'll wait for their reply then...

Hi. I am planning to apply for MyMasters too! However, i have encountered some problems during the application. I could't upload my transcript on9~~~help please~~~

Your file is too big, I guess.

Added on August 27, 2012, 8:55 pmIs your Master Course by coursework or by research?

If it is by research, what do you fill in the Tarikh Tamat Pengajian?

If I filled in that i can finish it by three years, does that mean they only pay me up to three years?

hi guys, i am taking master in coursework? the proposal title unfortunately wajib diisi, so what should i put? If i put tiada is it ok? One more the bidang kursus i put management and administration because i cant find pembangunan sumber manusia in the list. Is it correct?

By default the scholarship only will be given three years. No matter what you fill, you'll get three years of scholarship. But I think there's a form in the website to apply for extension when you can't complete your study in three years.

I think they will understand since you're taking coursework.

Yes, you can choose that as long as it is related to your course.

Thanks. I have checked the website again and it said they only pay the allowance up to a maximum of three years.
