It is shocking to see people expressing their interest in medicine and at the same time know absolutely nothing about anything.

JPA scholarships are only for new SPM holders.
Also, scholarships for medicine are extremely rare. The only ones who provide full medical scholarships are JPA and MARA. Other than that, almost none if not none at all. Be realistic. Reading medicine overseas is not easy........you get my drift. This post has been edited by feynman: Dec 2 2006, 10:50 AM |

The fact stays, it is almost impossible to obtain any form of aid from any parties besides government bodies. Don't expect private firms to invest at least RM500k on you when they will not get any returns at all.
Petronas used to sponsor medical students, not anymore, because it is not a sound investment. Loans, don't even bother thinking about it. You'll be in a severe financial debt when you graduate. |

QUOTE(ryozoemiko @ Dec 5 2006, 03:15 PM) There is scholarship such as PTPTN. After you were accepted into the course, you can apply through the University. If you are going oversea, there will be JPA loan of around 200,000 for you to borrow. You need to pay of course, or you choose to work with the goverment for 10 years after graduate. I am currently studying pharmacy in IMU..haha. Don't say i am siding my choose,just telling the truth. |

QUOTE(klifex @ Dec 6 2006, 11:08 PM) my advice---> go study hard hard...then score a straight A's...then apply JPA...if not, go apply for private medical college for scholarship..(also need superb result)... Dream on..........else, continue for STPM/ matrix..,score good result..apply for local Uni. this is the solution for people who cannot afford for private medical Uni/ overseas...Like me~~hehehe QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Dec 7 2006, 12:00 AM) Lay off the kid... At least she's trying to get some info here... Info? Much of these stuff can be found on the net with a click of the button, one doesn't even need to ask. If someone does not have the initiative to do so, one should not even bother doing medicine no matter how interested one is.But I agree with you a lot of people don't really know much about medicine before venturing into it, and later regret their choice. QUOTE(wgy589 @ Dec 7 2006, 02:08 AM) StarGhazzer,it's very nice to meet you here .Congratulations for successfully Since when is medicine in the US cheap?completing IMU Phase 1 course .Actually,I have just finished my STPM exams,and IMU twinning-Jefferson MC is my major consideration now,partly b'cos of the high quality of US Medical education, reduced cost and durations. I would like to ask you the following Q's: 1)What're the chances of an IMU students twinned with Jefferson being able to continue for specialist training and to secure a job in US? 2)Will it be easier for a Canadian PMS Graduates to apply for US internship compared to graduates from other countries? 3)What's the percentage of failure in IMU USMLE 1 ? Thanks for your future reply. Hope you'll be matched with the PMS of your choice. Scholarships for professional degrees are rare if any at all. If you get into a Canadian PMS, you are likely to find a job in canada because you have the canadian experience. |

QUOTE(StarGhazzer @ Dec 7 2006, 11:18 AM) Sounding harsh eh? Info about unis and courses can be found with google and mouseclicks, but personal experiences could only be found via talking to current students of graduates. I don't see any problem with fellow forum members asking for certain information, but as you put it, it's better to do some research before asking. Scholarships for medicine are indeed rare, but scholarships for engineering courses are much more easier to find compared to medicine. This is certainly not doctor material. |

If what JPA pays is not sufficient for accomodation, food and all. This is not a scholarship at all. Makan pun tak cukup, belajar untuk apa?

It is a blardy scholarship, if it can't blardy pay to ensure you have enough to use, why the heck do you call it a scholarship?
