How you know close on 27th March?
They said 2 weeks after results come out ma

u can go to de website n have a look.. here u go thestar

If i m not wrong, they only provide tuition fee waiver !

There is no "money" allowance for scholarship holder !!

I really think that a lot of scholarship is better than The Star Scholarship unless u wan to enter into an expensive college.

Scholarship like Tabacco America, Hong Leong scholarship give Allowance to their scholarship holder which is enough to cover both tuition & living expenses.

That's the link to the old 2006 one. Here's the 2007 link: http://thestar.com.my/edufund/

Mind giving a link to the Tabacco/Tobacco America scholarship you mentioned? I tried googling but couldn't find it. Thanks.

BTW, from what i heard, you could prepare along with your application form, a resume of some sort, write about why you deserve the scholarship award. And if you're shortlisted, it would be wise to prepare beforehand, for example, by learning about the organisations that are sponsoring.

Find UTAR website, there got link to Amertica Tobacca scholarship, I think.

Lazy me..

Quoted for truth.
I really wished they do provide though...

STAR scholarship not only provides tuition fee but also some general fees as well as RM100 for hostel rental allowances if i'm not mistaken

the good thing is there is no bond for this scholarship
you dont have to work for your institution or the star. =)

Can I apply if I'm pursuing diploma now?

With regard to which field? The scholarship only applies to the universities and colleges listed there.

Yea; my course is there.

Ur the same case with my coursemate now.
He got 4.0 last sem, hoping to maintain his result this sem to get a sponsor or college loan.
Or else 3rd sem he gotto stop studying and work to support himself. Family cant afford anymore.

p/s: we are from the same school.. LOL

Em; which means I still can apply right?

o_O

Must I apply with my SPM results or 1st sem's results?

Talking about this thing...I applied for it last year for something which I've forgetten. Nevermind about that.

The shameful thing is that they didn't inform me about outcome of it. Note: this could be done by a simple post letter or email or phonecall.

What's worst? When I met with the person incharged of this ( accidentally bumped in an educational fair) , that m*therf***er told me I'm supposed to call to find out.
The thing is I did call, but when I call, they would say my application is still in progress, and ''relax''.

Oh ya, now I remembered. I applied for Pharmacy in Nottingham.

Peace Just voicing out my anger which I was caging in my chest for all this time.

so at the end u din get it rite?

Actually they already said they won't notify everyone. Only ppl who are shortlisted will be notified.

yea if u dun get a reply after a certain period of time, you have not been accepted

What is the procedure to apply and how many positions is being offered per year ?

ex-holder of the star scholarship here.. Its just an agreement between the star with the respective coll/uni where in actual the coll/uni are the one who providing u the scholarship study for free, the star pay nth for it.. thats y no any allowance for the scholarship, same goes to nst, sinchew.. But wat so great in such is therz no bond for it..

Basically this the points they are looking for:
1) needy student
2) good in academic
3) good in coco

How many position to be offered per year is depending on the institutions.. Some coll/uni only offer 3places while others may up to 15places per year..

Dear the_registered,
almost all the scholarship in malaysia also the same, only shorlisted ll be notified (xcept petronas schoalrship).. Plz understand, not only u applying the star scholarship, whole msia more than thousand over ppl applying this scholarship, how u expect them to notify one by one of the result..?? If ur the one applying for free education, of course u should take up the effort to contact them urself from time to time to know the progress..

Believe there are 2 tiers under the scholarship.

Tier 1: these are scholarships that Star themselves will pay.

Tier 2: these are contributions from the private colleges and universities.

Star is asking for private colleges to provide for hostel and allowances for students for 2007 and quite a number have responded. Therefore, do check whether the scholarship entail these benefits.
