Overseas Scholarships for STPM/A-levels/ADP Candidates

[t]

As most of the overseas scholarships (namely JPA, MARA, PETRONAS, etc) are for SPM candidates, I am trying to compile a list of overseas scholarships available for STPM/A-levels/ADP candidates too.

Would definitely hope that fellow ReComers who have gone through the scholarship applications could share with others here. Your sharing are very much appreciated.:lol:

By the way, I applied this scholarship thrice, and also failed thrice.. LOL..

Does anyone know the deadline of the Singapore scholarship offered under Singapore Cooperations Programme? I searched for it at the official website http://www.scp.gov.sg but failed. To anyone who have applied, can you please tell me where to send the form? (Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs or High Comission of Singapore in KL?) I'm so confused.. Thanks!

[kpchen]

Last year, I submitted the forms personally at the Singapore High Commission in KL. It's stated in the second point of the application form I think. Why not call the Singapore High Commission to enquire about the deadline?

[siawase_tenshi]

Thank you very much kpchen! I'll try and call them up. ^_^

I've just called the Singapore High Commission in KL, and for the benefit of other scholars interested in applying for this scholarship, the deadline is 7 April 2008. Gambatte everyone~ = )

In the document link provided , there is no clear statement of the courses offered.
Does it mean RoK's providing scholarship to any course ?

[leezhezin]

RoK's Scholarship recipients for Undergraduate studies have just been made known. 7 Malaysians are receiving the scholarship award to any courses they choose.
