depends on type of scholarship
There are the no bounded scholarships-last year some cemerlang spm/stpm students got from agong.
Bounded- depends on course and type of degree. Higher degree qualification usually higher bond.
Typically its just a golden handcuff bond, service, no need to pay back.
Better than petronas scholar where 1 year borrow=2 years service. But petronas are more lavish. That is why you work more for them
