They got make any rules that You must come back malaysia work after graduate?

mara do not have rules that you must come back to work in malaysia after graduation.
some of the malaysian students stayed back in US and they are paying Mara from the US.

some have been staying there for more than 13 years ...

I think for JPA you have to come back to malaysia to serve for the government, unsure of this though cause I'm not a JPA scholar ...

Surfing MARA web, found out those loan are only for Malays......

hmm ... it's open to Bumis I think, I don't know the new rules though. Can find other type of education loans too. Bank loans, association loans, state loans but most of these need mortgage.

Don't limit your options, look around, ask other friends or relatives that has study in America on how they manage to pay for their studies.

You can do anything you want as long you put your mind into it.

Why not check out with the actual university/college you plan to go to - they may provide financial aid themselves, and it may be very good aid as well!

i wanna ask.. is it all adp program also need to go overseas to complete?
any coll that can complete their adp here?

i m from inti actually

Nope. My maths teacher is an ex-JPA scholar pursuing her studies in Liverpool,England. So far she does not have to serve for the government.

i wanted to go to usa or aus as well, but i couldnt afford it. Is it worth to take the loan and repay back later?

probably it will take how many years to repay it back?

I am currently in a level, going to finish soon.

Try financial aid from US universities. Forget about Australia.

Study loans are things of the past. In the 60s and 70s, when things were cheaper, degree holders were difficult to come by. If one had the opportunity to study overseas then, one certainly would be able to get a well paying job overseas. Now, the fees are so many times more expensive than it used to be, and even if you graduate from say an Australian university, you won't be able to find a job unless you are a permanent resident. We are talking about a sum of a quarter million to half a million ringgits. That sum will take you forever to pay back. With that liability, you will not get a house loan or a car loan when you decide to start a family. You won't have money to pay for your children's education too.

You can complete your ADP here, but you won't get a degree. ADP is like a transfer program, where you do 2 years in Malaysia, and then proceed to complete your final 2 years in the US.

I'm heading to the US next fall through Inti's AUP and I have to send my applications soon, after reading this thread, I tried to search on google about states that offer this in-state waiver/discount but I found a load of not very informative sites, umm so guys mind telling me what states offer this waiver cause I want to reduce my expenses there...

Hi Jyou, this will apply after you fill in your income tax form. Since you're an out-of-state foreign student, I believe income and social security tax will be waived. You may want to try visiting the international student adviser for more information.

Guys, how much does it cost to study degree in USA for a 3 years program? Is it comparable to to UK/AUS or does it cost more? Just give me a rough figure. Cost including living allowance to live ok not too comfortably for the whole 3 years. I'm asking on behalf of my friend.

The uni she plan to go is UCLA or Uni of Michigan I think.

I have to say that the universities you go into after finishing ADP program are not very.. They sound substandard to me lah.

Can anyone verify this? I'm thinking of doing ADP because it has the degrees I want.

How difficult is it to check them by herself? If she can't get the necessary information that she absolutely needs, she shouldn't be thinking of going anywhere.

What do you want to do?

Anyone else kind enough to help me? From my experience, it cost me around 100k-120k in a year for engineering degree in AUS. Is it more or less the same? Unfortunately I can't find website for US uni that's like IDP that help student to get to uni in AUS. Thanks.

If she wants to go to UCLA or UMich, hmmmmm let's see, where else can I find a definitive all I need to know information? Jeezz,I don't know, I am so hopeless, maybe I should not go to the US......

Astounding, simply astounding, want to buy something but don't know where to look for the price.........

Dude, what's your problem? If you don't know the answer to my question, then don't bother.

haha what feynman is saying.. is to go use google or check the uni's website. because we wouldn't know. we would have to look up the website ourselves anyhow.

The problem is if you can't find stuff that is so obvious then university, namely UCLA or UMich isn't for you or your friend. You or your friend won't survive given the depth of ineptitude displayed here.
