UTAR don't offer any scholarship for SPM students!! It require Diploma CGPA, STPM result.
Frankly,UTAR scholarship not too difficult to get, but its tough to maintain, if Im  not wrong, u have to maintain a very high CGPA to maintain the scholarship. Its like CPA 3.9(can't remember correctly) in degree study shocking.gif ....otherwise, they will withdraw it.

Unless u are saiding their pre-U course, 8-9 A's lo, 75%-100% tuition fee waiver. (not sure whetner got revised or not)

UTAR is private university which have to at least make some profit, while TARC is half sponsored by government. UTAR is not generous in giving scholarship like TARC. TARC haven't been revised its scholarship requirement for like 20 years, while other college has revised their internal scholarship requirement quite frequently.

u cant ender degree wif SPM result.. pls la.. so u must study de foundation n can get scholarship wif ur spm result..

I am one of the UTAR scholarships holders and I obtained it by using my foundation study results. Once you have obtained the scholarships, they will not withdrawn it from you unless you have break certain rules, such as failing one or more subjects, obtained a GPA less than 2.0 for any semester and a few more rules which i have forgotten biggrin.gif. Hence, I would say its not that hard to maintain UTAR scholarships but rather I would say its hard to obtain as it would require you to score a CGPA of 3.8 above for your Pre-U years or at least 3A in STPM or A'Levels (if I am not mistaken).

For foundation studies (I am one of scholarship holder for it too in the past), it would require a certain limit of A's in your SPM results. During my time, 9As above = 100% scholarships, 8A's = 75% and 7A's =50%. However for now, I am not sure if they have implement any changes to that.

Thats the same requiement to maintain the scholarhip in TARC. In fact, TARC require GPA 2.8 to maintain Adv DIploma scholarship. ( I m TARC scholarship recipient)

Can describe more about  UTAR scholarship ?? Need interview ??
How is the grading system for pre-u course ?
Is A. A-, B+ etc like STPM or follow Diploma A, B, C ??
Another question, if I get UTAR scholarship, can I get other scholarsip like America Tabacco??
I ask on behalf for my cousin.

There is no interview for UTAR scholar's. For the pre U grading system, its the same as TARC if I am not mistaken. During my year in Pre U, there is only A, B , C just like TARC diploma system.
You only can have one scholarships at one time for UTAR scholarships.

Anyway here is the requirement for UTAR Scholarships:

look like they loosen the scholarship requirement year by year!!

4 yrs back, CGPA 4.00 is the scholarship requirement, 2 years back CGPA 3.90.. UEC 10 As,  Now 3.80 ...  hmm.gif while other colleges like Taylor require 11A1 to get a full scholarship lo.

I wonder if continous like that, UTAR will crab a lot of students from TARC which actually already happen.

For those who enter thru foundation and diploma, then yes, the requirement to obtain scholarships has loosen. But I think the requirement now will be maintained for a few years to come before revising it again.
