QUOTE(gsan @ Oct 7 2006, 10:00 AM) I got half loan and half scholarship from kuok foundation. What I wonder is, why kuok give the money to my university instead of my ptptn bank acc.? Anyone can explain to me here? IIRC you are not allowed to have 2 loans/scholarships at the same time. |

QUOTE(gsan @ Oct 8 2006, 12:01 PM) if i din apply ptptn first, where do I get the money to pay for the 1st sem course fee? You'll have to drop either PTPTN or Kuok Foundation loan/scholarship. It's stated both in the PTPTN and Kuok Foundation's terms and agreement that you can't get the loan if you are already on another one.On PTPTN website: Syarat-Syarat Permohonan: Tiada penaja lain And found this on Kuok Foundation: 4) Students who are already in receipt of scholarships, loans or other forms of educational assistance should not apply for the above awards. Anyway I know ppl who get both PTPTN + other loan/scholarship and they spend the surplus money like mad (handphone/laptop/iPod).  If you are caught (heard PTPTN is more strict these days) then they will revoke the loan and penalize you. This post has been edited by cks2k2: Oct 8 2006, 12:38 PM |

QUOTE(Cruiser @ Oct 8 2006, 01:03 PM) I still don't understand the use of getting a PTPTN and another scholarship. PTPTN is a loan right? So u still have to pay it back later. So if anyone spend the surplus money, its like using borrowed money where u have to return later. Well when you're young you tend not to think too far into the future... That's why so many default on PTPTN loans. QUOTE(niu_niu @ Oct 8 2006, 10:28 PM) Thx...but do they have a website or do you have the office address which maintain the funds? Thx... I can tell you this: if you plan to apply for a scholarship (esp Kuok Foundation) they'll expect you to be resourceful enough to figure these things out yourself rather than wait to be spoonfed.Google it up. |
