Guys. About this statement,

Permohonan dibuka sepanjang tahun mulai 1 Disember 2010 hingga tahun 2015.

Meaning until 31.12.2014 then cannot apply for MyBrain already? Or is it until 31.12.2015? If exceed the date already, will this MyBrain plan be extended? Any news on it?

My supervisor and evaluator suggested me to apply for PHD conversion from Masters. I've written my thesis for my faculty. Now waiting for my faculty to have the postgrad meeting, after that need to wait for Senat meeting. Then only we can get the result if we can be converted to PHD. I'm afraid when I get the Masters to PHD conversion letter then the MyBrain offer finish already. sweat.gif

If I could not get financial support, I can't see anyway for me to convert. sweat.gif

The reason why MyBrain15 is called so is because it will run until the END of 2015 in line with the latest Rancangan Malaysia that run for five years.

But that does not mean the government will stop such funding.

It is highly likely it will continue (as told by the MyBrain officers).

Anyway, who knows there might be a new name in the future when the program continues, perhaps MyBrain2020? biggrin.gif

Hi guys, for those who have applied mybrain15, while waiting for your application, should we still be able to log in? We should be able to do so right ?

I submitted a few weeks ago, tried to log in now and it comes out 'ralat dikenalpasti'. Thought it was password error, I tried recovering password and received my password. But my password is correct, using that password, it still comes out 'ralat dikenalpasti'.

Is this normal?

Thanks.
*
Probably it's normal but I don't remember exactly what I saw.

Since you have already submitted and by logging in, there's nothing for you to view.

I just realized that some of the documents have to be certified by Pegawai Kerajaan Kumpulan Pengurusan dan Profesional (Gred 41 dan ke atas) / Penggawa / Ketua Kampung / Ketua Masyarakat. I got my Transcript certified by the Assistance Manager of Student Registry office of my university and my offer letter is certified by the Admission Office. Is my documents valid for the application? If no, can  I actually update my application once I got the proper documents?

besides, I got my Phd offer letter with my Degree. Do I still stand a chance to obtain the MyPhd? can somebody guide me please.
*
Are the officers who certified your documents government officers of Gred 41 or above?

I believe there might be issues concerning those who skipped a master's degree and applied for MyPhD.

You might want to clarify with MyBrain whether you are qualified to apply or not.

I have email them.. They never answer my question and then they withdraw my application on 27th Nov 14 so that I can upload the documents again... so I got all the documents certified by Pengetua of SMK and submitted my application on 27th as well... but i found out that there is a notice which is "Sistem ditutup sementara bagi PERMOHONAN BARU (1 DIS 2014 - 31 DIS 2014) untuk kerja-kerja penyelenggaraan." on 27 nov.. im wondering they still take my application or not even I have submitted on 27th nov.

Other than that, is that anyone successfully secured the MyPhd Scholarship with a Bachelor Degree? Im currently being offered an unconditional offer letter with my Bachelor Degree. I have no Master Degree.

Once your application has been submitted, then no need to worry.

I attended a talk once and a PhD student (straight from undergrad degree) lamented to the speaker about her predicament. The speaker agreed that PhD students who jumped from undergrad degree are not covered under MyPhD but he said the policy might change soon.

So, I'm not sure about the policy now. You better call them up and enquire.

Hi guys, for those of you who are under MyPhD P1, may I know how long did it take for you to receive your allowance the first time after the approval . Is it like a few months?  tongue.gif  Just wondering.  biggrin.gif

Thanks.  notworthy.gif

Yup, a few months. The allowance is released every four months. So, it depends on how long you have to wait.

Hi guys. Got some question regarding laporan kemajuan for myphd.

The laporan require us to send the form together with 'plan of study' and laporan for semester 1. Is that plan same as ghantt chart? And what if I don't send the laporan for sem 1 as I sent to them during sem 1 and forget to save a back up copy.

And the surat pengesahan for proposal, I already send to them during sem 1. Do I still need to send them every sem?

Thanks!

You just need to send in your Gantt Chart together with your Laporan Kemajuan for the first semester only.

After that, you just need to send in your Laporan Kemajuan only every semester. No harm if you want to send anything more than that.

btw, is that true that
"MyBrain15 (MyMaster and MyPhD) will not cover the fees that you have paid prior to your successful scholarship application. For example, if your MyMaster or MyPhD scholarship application is approved successfully this semester, you will not be able to claim back the fees you have paid using your own money for the previous semester(s)."

MyBrain15

True to a certain extent and it also depends on the coverage period.

If you applied in your first semester and the coverage period backdates to the day when you paid your fees, then you can claim for reimbursement.

If you only applied starting from the second semester, then of course the coverage period will only start from the second semester onwards. In this case, you can claim back what you have paid for the second semester, not the first semester.

Then is too bad for me as I going to complete my dissertation by next month but now only applied. So i think my chances to get mybrain approve is very very low  cry.gif
But wondering how those MBA students get ready their proposal during first semester while most of them are still new and don't even have any idea on their research topic, if they want to apply mybrain15 during first semester.  hmm.gif
That's happened to me nearly 3rd semester only know what topic should go on after attended the research method class.

One can still apply in the first semester. You don't need to wait until you have to do the research proposal.

oh dear...I hope to be graduating from my masters by the end of this year, and am planning to go for this MyPhD in year 2016, once I graduated from my masters degree. I went to their website and check and got this "Permohonan-
(a) Permohonan dibuka sepanjang tahun mulai 1 Disember 2010 hingga tahun 2015."

Meaning to say I have to apply for this MyPhD by the end of this year  ohmy.gif  Will they continue this support in the years to come? =/

The officers said most likely it will continue.

And perhaps under a new scheme name.

Anyone here with such experience?

Yup, I slightly changed my title and I just resend the proposal to MyBrain and a formal letter telling them that I changed the title. No issue at all.

For my case, it doesn't change anything but not sure about those who changed courses.

I applied 3 months before the end of my study (as stated in the extension form). I had waited almost 6 months already.  Every month I called mybrain to follow up on my application but it's still under process.

OK I've talked to the staff in Treasury office and she said since my extension is not confirm by mybrain yet, I must pay with my own money. Once I get the approval of the extension from mybrain, send a copy of the approval letter together with the payment receipt to the Treasury office to claim back the money. 

Thanks.
*
I waited 6 months like you too until I had the chance to meet the person-in-charge personally. Right after that, within a week after I met him, my application for the extension was approved. If I had met him earlier, then they would have approved it much earlier.

If you ever have the chance to meet the person in charge, please do it and tell him.

Difficult to meet the person in charge since it's very far away. But I've made a call and spoke with the person in charge. He said call him again after a week to get the result.

So did your extension effective date starts at the following month after your original myphd scholarship ended? Example: Let's say your original date was from 1/1/2012 to 31/12/2014, so your first extension started on 1/1/2015?

Thanks.

It continues without any gap.

That means 6 months for IPTA? Having a tough time getting my phone calls answered by them.

Yes, 6 months for each extension. You can only be given two extensions of 6 months each.

To apply for extension, you need

1. Your own letter (justification letter)
2. Surat rasmi from your supervisor
3. The extension application form
4. Borang Kemajuan Pelajar

Hi, i got the offer for MyMaster scholarship, however i have a few doubts, hopefully, someone can clear my doubts

1: I need to submit my Surat Tawaran to Bendahari Institusi Pengajian within 7 days, can anyone enlighten me what department is Bendahari Institusi Pengajian ?

2: I would need to find 2 Witnesses/Saksi for the Borang Penjanjian part, can someone recommend me any eligible Witnesses/Saksi ? (Study on Private College, my lectures is not eligible to be my witnesses)

3: My MBA program ended early September 2015, how would I receive the payment from MyBrain15 ?

Thanks

1. The Treasury Department at the University you are studying in. You can those ppl manning the counter where you pay your fees.

2. Since you are in a private college, it's best you call up MyBrain to clarify whether anyone from your college can be your witness.

3. Your scholarship started from? You will only be reimbursed what you have paid within the scholarship offer period.

Thanks for your reply, my situation is that i self-funded my MBA program, and paid all the amount of the program before my period of scholarship with MyBrain15 which started from 1st Sept 2015 until 29 Feb 2016.

So meaning, i won't be eligible for any reimbursed ?

Since u have already paid your fees prior to the scholarship offer date, you won't be reimbursed.

QUOTE(andrewnyh @ Oct 6 2015, 12:49 AM)
Anyone knows if the MyBrain Scholarship will be extended beyond 2015? The website states "Permohonan dibuka sepanjang tahun mulai 1 Disember 2010 hingga tahun 2015". So, I'm wondering if it's worth the time applying now or not.

Yes, it will continue.
