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.

The Star did mention at the launch of the fund, in conjunction with their fair at klcc, that preference would be given to those who are not scholarship hunting i.e. applying for scholarships all over the place.

Don't know how they are going to find out whether one had applied elsewhere or not.
