Do MMU itself offers merit scholarship? (not through third parties like SinChew, TheStar, etc) o.o Just wondering.. and is the website not updated (2013)??
I checked the FAQ section and most of the dates (entry..etc) are written 2012

Thanks a lot. I will check it out...

Yeah, they do. 50% tuition fee waiver if you score minimum 7A for SPM or 3.75 for Pre-U. Then, you'll have to maintain >3.67.

There's also 25% tuition fee waiver, but I forgot what's the requirement. Try asking during the open day smile.gif
*
Only 50%? Is there any 100% tuition fee waiver offer? Unfortunately I couldn't attend the open day.. it's too far from where I live now.. sob. Im hoping to see MMU counsellors/agent at the upcoming Penang upcoming education fairs. sad.gif I've been checking stuffs regarding the courses from MMU since last year.

By the way.. maintaining a cgpa for more than >3.67, is that even possible? 3.67 out of 4.0 right.. (3.67/4x100 = 91marks)? rclxub.gif sounds hard as you need to maintain along the study period.. If couldn't maintain = termination of waiver?

I got straight As in my SPM, and I'm looking for creative multimedia scholarships to apply.. MMU bachelor of creative multimedia - media art is what I want but unfortunately Sin Chew and The Star didn't provide any scholarship for the specific course I stated from MMU this year (It's available last year, but this year suddenly change.. maybe the course is not getting any good response or what?), only animation & visual effects (foundation to degree) is available.. ohmy.gif

Thanks Human nature, are you a MMU student too? Some friends of mine told me that there are some foreigners (from Nigeria) are studying in MMU cyberjaya, is this true? And there are lesser Chinese students there? hmm.gif

Just let me know if you did not get any reply.

There is quite a number of international students in MMU (from various countries) but local students' count is much higher. I know one Nigerian student and he is actually polite and hardworking, so better don't stereotype biggrin.gif
Chinese students form the majority of the students' population.

p/s not a student  cool2.gif

okay sure, I'm expecting a reply by tomorrow (working hours?)
And actually there's a Nigerian added me in Facebook recently... I can see that he's an Electronic engineering student but has a passion for design (haha). He's studying in MMU too... he's quite polite too (ask me about some stuffs regarding photoshop, as he's from dviantArt), can type a perfect english as well.. but I was like kinda freaked out when I saw a friend request from a dude from Nigeria at first. Haha. But after we chat for a while, everything seems to be fine lol. Nothing weird or suspicious from him... this changed part of my doh.gif 'stereotype' mindset too. sweat.gif

Don't think there's any internal scholarship that offers 100% scholarship. Gotta check out external scholarships for that.

For CGPA, 3.67 is equivalent to A- which is 75%. Not that hard to maintain, just make sure you do well in your coursework. If your CGPA falls below 3.67 but above 3.33, you'll still get 25% waiver. Less than 3.33, directly terminated.
*
There's internal scholarship which offer 100%,
O.o some colleges like tunku abdul rahman, UTAR, they provide 100% scholarship for those who scored >9As but there's a condition which is the student must score more than a certain CGPA, like the merit one you mentioned in MMU.

It'll be really really stressful............ shakehead.gif rclxub.gif your CGPA marks are like your health bar...... and slowly consuming you and turning you into a walking dead which only fights for CGPA, friendship and any other stuffs is worthless for you by that time, most important shit is the CGPA. (lol jk, im thinking too much unsure.gif ) I don't even know I can go through this or not if I'm the merit scholar...

PTPTN only provides up to 8k for foundation.
Not sure if you've gotten your reply already, but have a look at this - Merit Scholarship

P/S : 50% is for 9As and above. Sorry for the wrong info earlier sweat.gif

okay thanks for the info human nature.
I'll be traveling to MMU alone, maybe will stay one night in my relative house in KL for one day. I think the reception will be in Faculty of creative multimedia since I'm applying for FCM course (foundation->degree) there.. I will get a confirm answer tomorrow anyway.

Hi HumanNature laugh.gif

I arrived @ mmu at around 9am, my aunt fetch me there from KL by using MEX highway,
since my interview is at 12pm.. so my aunt just drove me around the uni and have a look at the environment and buildings.

to be honest the interview was quite.. relaxed and more like a casual chat for me lol.. There are 3 interviewers, all of them are in a good mood, happy face tongue.gif so not that scary as I imagined haha (I think I'm the last one to be interviewed hmm.gif the chancellor unit reception lights and air conditioners are all closed before I step into the interview room.. originally I thought the interview session is over dy sweat.gif cry.gif *lunch time maybe? Luckily not or else I have to wait even longer -.- haha). The interview process took around 15 minutes for me.. smile.gif I'm not really sure about the amount of competitors, there are like 4 interviewees waiting before my turn.. I guess the interview session has started since 9.. cuz when I reach the chancellor building, I went to the toilet first to change my clothes, I can see there are 2,3 people.. smart looking, wear ties waiting there already. sweat.gif
