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.

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

Lazy me..

Ya Ya, The Star always give those scholarship to financially deserving students. I am quite shocked that one of my friend who obtained 6 As in SPM was able to get the scholarship.

Frankly, if ur SPM (STPM) result is really good (eg.10 A1 or more), no need to apply for Star scholarship!! The college that u entered will automatically give u tuition fee waiver. In addition, u can apply other scholarship like Hong Leong, American Tabacco. Thats what I do !!

If u r really a financially needy student, u can show ur parents income form to The Star Scholarship foundation as evidence that u really need this scholarship to proceed ur study, this will increase ur chances to get the scholarship.

The friends I mention who got 6As is sitting SPM 2001, nowadays the emerge of more "top students", the competition is Keen in applying scholarship.
A lot of colleges like Inti & Taylor has amend their internally assessed scholarship requirement accordingly. (Certainly, stricter requirement, tht means more A1 or As is required)

Anyway, u can PM those The Star scholarship recipients. Unfortunately, I m not one of them.

U only took 9 subjects, right??

Ur result is good , better than mine, in terms of quality...
Quantity, I beat u

Added on February 6, 2007, 1:20 pmUTAR 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 ....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.


They are lying, they can't find out, please!!
U should apply more than one scholarship, regardless what result u have.

During my years, it require perfect score og 4.00

But, I thought, now still required CGPA 3.9 ??
I will confirm from UTAR lecturers, (if they know)

Note: SPM results is scholarship for foundation course(Pre-U), Degree scholarship require the Pre-U result,STPM, UEC etc

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.

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 ... 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.

Can describe more ?? CGPA 3.00 ?? That means half of the course are eligible to get this scholarship !!

Typing error ??
