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..

Qualified.. wher u come from they dun bother also, so long ur malaysian.. Im ex-recipient of the star's scholarship from sban study at penang, much more further rite..??

ERm, i doubt those coco help much in applying private scholarship.. i has lot coco achievements up to national n international level, even exchange programme to oversea, yet cant get those good good scholarship.. it just showing ur not a book worm, thats all..

Anyhow, the star is easier to get the scholarship.. good luck in ur application..
