Hong Leong Foundation Scholarship Programme

http://www.hongleong.com/community/2007/default.htm

Date for submission of application is 09 April 2007

Sorry bout this. As I understand, Hong Leong Bank is not offering scholarship to foundation students. Only Diploma and Degree. Should the title be 'Hong Leong Diploma/Degree Scholarship Programme'? Please kindly rectify me if i'm wrong. Thank you.

yeah, sime darby. the foreign unis scholars get sent to (in australia) include the University of Adelaide and Deakin University. I think they send scholars to other countries as well, but you should check that out at their website

[Tasslehoff]

Sime darby sends to UK and Australia... local also.. but mind you, they do not sponsor to US..

[aquamarine7]

Can i apply for JPA, Matrikulasi as well as Bank Negara Malaysia scholarships?Is these 3 scholarships have connection? What is the probability of getting these 3 scholarships if i am applying all these 3?

starlemon,if you want to apply local matriculation by now,honestly,its over already. I mean you cant apply it by now. the dateline for application is October before our Spm.

Okay,regarding the connection thingy. Form 6 and Local matriculation do have connection. If you're selected for Matriculation,your name will not appear in the form 6 name list.

About JPA and Bank Negara.... i'm nt sure..but i up til now,i havent came across the rumours of any such connection.

Well, i do hav a fren who got both JPA n BNM at da same time, n he choose JPA in d end.... Bt for Petronas Scholarship, most who apply for both petronas n jpa could onli get either 1, i nvr heard of any1 who could secure both scholarship last yr except those who got MIRC....

Hi

I have a question about ASEAN scholarship.

Assuming that I am offered the scholarship to study singapore's pre-uni programme, is it that I have to apply again for the asean undergraduate scholarship after i completed the pre-uni programme? Where can I obtain the details on the asean undergraduate scholarship? I mean details like requirement and eligibility. I have searched it online but just couldn't find. Can any one pls show me the direct link to that information? Thanks very much for the help.

[duke23]

i was just wondering jpa scholarship for accountancy in australia..if its offered..is it a 4 year degree(including honours)or just 3 ?

[capablanca]

I think it is 4 years to study for honors. However, why are you asking for specific country. As far as I remember, JPA determined the country you will be sent, not the other way around.

[Xon]

if the cut-off grade is not achieved,be prepared that.....you might have no chance to go the designated country......

[chiachean]

if the cut-off grade is not achieved,be prepared that.....you might have no chance to go the designated country......
If cut off point is not achieved, maybe the scholarship will be terminated... There is a case in my college here. 1 of my senior din manage to make it, he/she cant go overseas..

[vseehua]

if the cut-off grade is not achieved,be prepared that.....you might have no chance to go the designated country......
either study in local unis or be terminated (more likely the latter)

[Myself_psl]

now, i applied for jpa, petronas, khazanah nasional. tnb and bnm,

To me,no,you're not greedy. normal ler.....

revise the term greedy..... want something excessively and will do everything including illegal acts to achieve thier motives,am i right?

[tyro]

interviews are usually not on the same day...
n u r not greedy...that's smart, but be ready to not receive any news from any of them except jpa....jpa is much much much much more easier to get shortlisted among these 5.

from what i read at the "syarat-syarat" page,it says we need "surat tawaran". this implies that we actually need to apply to enter a college/university before we apply this scholarship.

"pengurusan" means management. Maybe something towards business management or related courses...

"nama kursus" is the course offered by a college/university......

[Myself_psl]

you are not greedy at all... You just keeping your option wide... But if u already take one scholarship, and not immediately rejecting others if you have other scholarships, then i will say yes! haha~

but as in for apply, u should apply more....

nah... the interview will not be on the same there.. no worries..

no,i give up BNM,TNB.... i applied jpa and petronas only. Xp

Wilson,

the Pre-U ASEAN and undergraduate ASEAN are administered separately. the UG ASEAN is also administered by separate universities (NUS, NTU etc). You can find info on the respective university webpages.

[milogal]

hey, anyone out there who has already filed in the forms for the ASEAN scholarship? how come i cannot fill in for the date of birth?

it says the cells has restricted values.

[passOUT]

Can anyone pls enlighten me on this?

wilson....
the ASEAN scholarship for pre u and undergrad is different...
for the undergrad, normally the respective uni will be the one who decides whether you'll be granted the scholarship or not......like NUS for example and if i'm not mistaken, you'll have to be enrolled into one of the courses before you can actually apply it....

i applied for the ASEAN pre-u scholarship last year but well....wasn't that lucky....

and just a piece of advice from me, if you're selected for the test (for the pre-u scholarship), you should really be prepared....especially for the english paper because the vocabulary used is....oh my...i just couldnt find a word to describe it....just be prepared.....


hope that helps....:)

Is the academic-oriented competition e.g. National Physics Competition,Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan considered co-curricular achievement?

[duke23]

If cut off point is not achieved, maybe the scholarship will be terminated... There is a case in my college here. 1 of my senior din manage to make it, he/she cant go overseas..

im totally aware about the prerequisites and minimum cut off point that needs to be met before flying off to the particular destination but my question was,for accountancy under JPA scholarship in OZ,are we allowed to complete the 4 year honours course (that is if we qualify for it of course)or we just have to make do with 3 under JPA


im asking for a friend,so i have no idea why she specifically asked about australia,i guess since getting accountancy in UK is pretty slim,australia will be next on her preferred list

[chiachean]

Is the academic-oriented competition e.g. National Physics Competition,Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan considered co-curricular achievement?

yeah, i think so. You represent the school to participate in the national level competition

[Xon]

yeah, i think so. You represent the school to participate in the national level competition

national level = "mewakili negeri" ???

[chiachean]

national level = "mewakili negeri" ???
mewakili sekolah to participate national level competition..

Not the same context with 'mewakili negeri'. That 1 you mentioned is more to sports and uniform bodies

i really need to have a scholarship for me to further my studies. but i have to do my a level in local colleges first.

the unanswered question that always linger in my mind are:

what is the minimum parents annual/monthly income that make me eligible to apply a particular scholarship. i know maybe som eof them are different. but i really want to know.

if our parent annual/monthy income do exceed the minimum amount required, do we still eligible to apply. i know for sure im not, we dont! but is there anychance for us to be called for the interview???

i beg for u guys kindness to give me some info baut tis. im desperate for scholarship. some people might say, use ur parent money la kalau da byk sgt.BUT it doesnt mean that ur parent income exceed the min amount required could really cover up all the courses fee..

wa~~~

I would like to know if I apply PETRONAS and JPA with SPM, is it true that I can only secure one of the scholarship?this is what my school counsellor told me.

[vseehua]

I do know of some people who have gotten both, so nope, you might be able to secure both if you are really that lucky...

[jingguo]

as far as i know, that might not be true. i know of some friends who got both petronas and JPA scholarship. but that was few years back. i'm not sure if the policy has changed though.

[chiachean]

ASEAN scholarship but it is too late now.
Petronas scholarship as well..

[weiz]

When I apply scholarships online,in the field of co-curricular achievement,in some cases, I only found the particular for CLUB/SOCIETIES,no UNIFORM BODIES,does that mean that I can include my uniform bodies in the CLUB/SOCIETIES?

[whitni89]

for the bnm scholarship app form a the first degree, they asked perhubungan under tanggungan ibu bapa.i listed down my siblings names n my name. so do i put anak or kakak and adik?

[lXl]

I'm not really sure as to what you guys should do. But i think it's best give a call to the officer-in-charge and ask them about that. I believe that their phone numbers are on the website (for Bnm).

I read it somewhere in this forum.. Somebody has called the worker there. They said that if you apply online, no need to send copies of certs. If you apply via mail, then copis of certs are needed.. Just in case, if you are so paranoid, I suggest you just send 1 copy to them.

Hello everyone! I am a 2007 SPM leaver. I am shortlisted for both JPA and TNB scholarships interview. Both for overseas program.

But the problem is, these two interviews are on the same day! Jpa is at Penang, my hometown; and TNB is at Kajang.

I probably will go for JPA. Is it possible to request to change the date of TNB interview?
What is your suggestion?

Please advice.. Thank you ^-^

it's never a waste to call up and ask them.

my educamp fell on the same day that I'm supposed to go for a holiday oversea. so I called up Petronas and asked if they could change my interview date as my ticket has already been booked. as a result they changed my interview date to one of the earlier batches.

so yeah, it shouldn't be a problem if they have more than 1 interview session.

[Ca3ine]

Did anyone of you get a phone call from Sime Darby before the closing date?

Just make a call to either one and ask if it's possible to change either dates. Ask them an alternative date and i'm sure they'll be able to do that since they'll be conducting a few sessions. Good luck!

[jingguo]

I don't think JPA would allow you to shift your time slot though, if they were to entertain one, imagine the mroe numbers they would have to do it next time.. I'd say push for TNB to change the date..

yeah i guess so..its like jpa..they rarely call becoz the are too many shorlisted candidates each year so it will be a waste of money...khazanah and felda can afford to call becoz compared to other scholarships the number of shortlisted candidate are very little...i hope it will help...( the link)

They don't state that you have to enrol in the colleges or universities first , but you have to mention the universities/colleges to them . Furthermore , I don't think you'll know whether can you enrol into those colleges/universities before the closing date . It's better to call them

did u apply for hong leong too?

[ronaldo7]

yeah i guess so..its like jpa..they rarely call becoz the are too many shorlisted candidates each year so it will be a waste of money...khazanah and felda can afford to call becoz compared to other scholarships the number of shortlisted candidate are very little...i hope it will help...( the link)

hey..do you know anyone will be assured a jpa scholarship?what is the conditions?

[jun]

hey..do you know anyone will be assured a jpa scholarship?what is the conditions?

it seems that those who have a combined family income of Rm1500 and less and scored at least 10 A1..will be assured a jpa scholarship.

[smile!]

it seems that those who have a combined family income of Rm1500 and less and scored at least 10 A1..will be assured a jpa scholarship.

but the problem is nobody can confirm whether it's true or not yet.. right?:notrust

[AnnDeBlurry]

did u apply for hong leong too?

I thought of applying it before but I later I decided not to apply it because the courses they offered are not courses that I am looking to . But , worth a try if you really want to study one of those courses ! Good luck , the deadline is around the corner .

[ronaldo7]

it seems that those who have a combined family income of Rm1500 and less and scored at least 10 A1..will be assured a jpa scholarship.

how do you get to know that?

[capablanca]

It's written in the newspaper last year. Plus, those who got top 20 in the nation are also virtually assured of a spot regardless of family income. (very vague about how they rank. Still have no idea of the presence of such list.)

[starlemon]

i wonder that when the sponsor scholarships like the star education fund, nanyang education fund or sin chew tertiary education fund will let us noe whether we are shorlisted for the interview or not.
It is almost going to May next month and we are torn down between the decision of going to form 6 or just sit there wait for these scholarships .

My senior also faced such situation last year . JPA didn't release the list of scholarship holders before F6 started last year . So , she went to study F6 . After a week F6 had started , then she received the letter from JPA , saying she get the scholarship she applied . :P They should have make it before F6 starts ~~

Yea..then should i going form 6 or just waiting for the jpa and other scholarships to be known?
Hw bout u?

[extell]

I heard there is a 1 week grace period to enter f6. It's pointless to spend money in the f6 pendaftaran and buy school uniforms then quit after a week right? I hope jpa results come out real soon...>w<

yes, i also think like that..we need to do all preparation to form 6 so..like registration, buying school uniform, and somemore reference books ( some teacher may recommend some form 6 reference books the day we are going into form 6 classes)..if we granted jpa, then we quite ,isnt our effort of doing this preparation as well as paying up all the incidental fees being wasted?
huh...hoping the jpa will let us noe the result as soon as possible.
If not, we will face such a dilemma.
btw, anyone noe when form 6 will officially begin ?

[smile!]

hmmm...if the jpa result is really coming out on the 12th of may punctually, maybe u dont hafta go for form 6 first.. because i think maybe form 6 is starting around mid of may also.. i guess if it starts a few days earlier u can afford not to attend the few days of form 6 and wait for the results.. hehe.. i already have the uniform since it's the same one as my prefect's uniform so i'm lucky not to have such prob..

i wanted to apply last year but decided against it. they need your results form form 4 and form 5 onwards. they also need you to translate alll your certificate fully.means full translation. i don't know how to do the translation and ended up not applying for it. and my exam result for form 4 and form 5 is not even complete and worse of all my school is in another state. too troublesome for me. you also need a few person to write comment about you. thats all i know about this scholarship.Your parents also need to be AIG agent for you to apply this scholarship.

:)):))
hope i can help you with this info.

[Xon]

i did~~ but they mostly have their deadlines in march or april.. is there any scholarship available at the moment?

[bali]

hey hey..wanted to know..if lets say i got an A B C for a levels..will it be possible to get a shell scholarship?

[Redwine2]

Hi Bali

From my experience, Shell scholarship most important is you pass the interview stage as the competition from many other students is very very very HIGH.

During interview session, they ask lots of question, lots and lots of question.....
almost til you cant answer. They looking for a leader that knows a lot of things.

Hope all the best for you. Do update us your results

[bali]

hey redwine..nice name.. :D aite..so me was just wondering..lets say i wana do chemical engineering..which scholarships would you recommend ??

[phoebec]

Hi. I need help filling my scholarship form..

1. for sports day events, my school don't provide any certs, so is it possible for me to state it at the "achievements" site? the events that i've won is stated in my letter of recommendation though.. or should i ask my teacher to verify for me on a separate piece of paper?

2. i've joined quite a number of basketball tournaments but i play for a club (not under school) . so under the "level of participation", what should i put? the basketball tournaments are joined by teams all over selangor.. is it considered at district level?

thanks in advance!

[phoebec]

2. i've represented my district, Petaling Utama in MSSS for basketball. Is the level competition "State" or "District". May i know what is the difference between those two?

thanks in advance!

1. Not very sure about this. Maybe you should ask your teacher to give you a cert regarding the activities you participated and won.

2. You represent your school to participate in district level competition. The same goes to state level. You win in the district level then you will represent district and proceed to state level competition. So, in your case, I think you represented your district to participate in a state level competition. :)

Btw, are you a spm09 leaver?

I only know sime darby but their offer only open in feb/march. anybody help me plz..i really wanted to do degree @<hidden> overseas.. hehe

[slappyfin3]

Try asking the pegawai MARA about this.
Untuk Engineering Petronas pun boleh kot

[xiana]

hi,
i'm a post 2009 spm,can i ask whether is there any scholarships for dentistry either overseas or non-overseas??
thanks in advance!!

[fathullah]

Try asking the pegawai MARA about this.
Untuk Engineering Petronas pun boleh kot

i've asked MARA about the scholarship but they told me that I need to have offer letter from the University which Im planning to enroll in. But, how to apply huh? I want to go to oz...

[slappyfin3]

You apply through an agency or by yourself. Check the websites of the unis you're interested in and find out what the procedure is like. I think for Australia all you need is your IELTS score and copies of your official transcripts. Also, I believe that there's some "Australia Education" fair soon (or it may have passed already, who knows). You should go there for some information.

[Mirianchoo]

Hi Xiana! :)

Yes, indeed, if you do well in your pre-U (A-Levels or STPM) and get into one of the top unis in the world for dentistry (like Ivy league standard, e.g. Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, etc) you can apply for a scholarship from JPA called the 'Biasiswa JPA Ivy League dan Setara' or 'JPA Ivy League and Equivalent Scholarship'.

If you do STPM and enter a local government uni like Universiti Malaya for dentistry, you can apply for the JPA Local Scholarship to sponsor your dentistry course locally.

Hope this helped. Try your best in your pre-U course! Jia you! :)

[xiana]

thanks mirianchoo, if i wanna go 4 foundation straight away but not stpm or A level,can i still apply 4 any scholarships??

[Mirianchoo]

Hi again Xiana.

Oh, for foundation... I think it's a little harder to get any scholarships if you do foundation courses. But I think it's possible if you enter AIMST for dentistry (and your SPM result was decent, at least 9A's if not mistaken- then I think JPA might would sponsor you if you apply. Or if you manage to enter a local branch of a foreign uni (like Monash) for dentistry like if you do MUFY (Monash University Foundation Year)- then you can apply for a JPA local scholarship too.

Other than that, I am not too sure about scholarships. I think that STPM and A-Levels give you better chances of getting a scholarship actually.

[cycycy]

Monash KL doesn't offer dentistry though.

AIMST is an option. :laugh Agree with mirianchoo, if you are keen on getting a scholarship at undergraduate level, get into Pre u courses established and recognised internationally like form 6, IB or a levels. :laugh

[Mirianchoo]

Oops I forgot that Monash KL doesn't offer dentistry. Got confused with Monash Australia which does. Thanks for correcting the mistake cycycy. :).

Ok, the example i gave about Monash was bad but the main thing I was trying to say is that it is possible to get a JPA scholarship if you enter any local branch of a foreign uni for your degree course. And who knows, maybe after you have finished your pre-U, Monash might already be offering dentistry, haha (unlikely but possible) :P.

No problem. :laugh

There's a thread on JPA tajaan tambahan for Ivy League Universities and equivalent here (http://www.recom.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7411). You may find it useful :laugh

Oh, and if you unsuccessful in the quest for scholarships, you can try for JPA overseas loan. You can apply in your 2nd year of undergrad studies in JPA recognised universities abroad. If I'm not mistaken, if you sign a contract with the government for a certain period (10 years i think), the loan repayment willl be waived :laugh

[xiana]

thanks Mirianchoo and Cycycy,
Mirianchoo,
If i apply 4 AIMST ,then JPA will straight away offer me the scholarship?? i've consider AIMST,but they only offer me partial scholarship 4 foundation,and i think that is not given by JPA. Btw,i got 6 A+,3A,1A- and 1B for my SPM. Oh, if I enter any local branch of a foreign uni for my degree course, will I have the chance to apply for JPA again?? Is the result based on my foundation,what's the minimum requirement 4 me to apply??

Cycycy,
Oh,wow! If I sign a contract with the government , the loan repayment willl be waived??

Cycycy,
how about the JPA tajaan tambahan for Ivy League Universities ?? Is this scholarship offered to those who took STPM and A level only??:)

[cycycy]

Yes. It a a special offer for pursuers of critical courses like med, dentistry and pharmacy. Provided you sign a 10 year contract.

Pinjaman Khas Perubatan Pinjaman ini ditawarkan kepada pelajar-pelajar yang mengikuti pengajian dalam Bidang-Bidang Kritikal seperti yang dinyatakan di para 3.1 iaitu bidang Perubatan, Pergigian dan Farmasi. Pelajar-pelajar yang mendapat kemudahan pinjaman ini boleh dikecualikan daripada membayar balik pinjaman tersebut sekiranya pelajar bersetuju mengikat kontrak untuk berkhidmat dengan Kerajaan Malaysia selama 10 tahun selepas menamatkan pengajian dengan jayanya.

From what I know, for the Ivy league universities, it doesn't really matter which pre U programme you attended. You must have been granted admission as JPA requires you to have an offer letter from the universities. :laugh

[Mirianchoo]

Hi Xiana, I am really sorry but after checking with various sources from the web, I think that you have already missed the deadline for the JPA PIDN (Program Ijazah Dalam Negara) scholarship to AIMST, Monash, other local branches of foreign unis, etc. Your other friends have already applied for it (right after the SPM results were released) and the results for the scholarship are already out...

However, there are still many options for you. For example, you can apply for a local JPA scholarship if you take STPM and enter a local government uni. Or, if you can enter one of the top unis in the world, you can apply for a JPA Ivy League and Equivalent scholarship. Another alternative is the loan repayment mentioned by cycycy. Really sorry that the AIMST and local branches of foreign unis options are not available anymore due the missed deadline...

[sugarspice]

Cycycy,
how about the JPA tajaan tambahan for Ivy League Universities ?? Is this scholarship offered to those who took STPM and A level only??:)

For this, as long as you hold an offer from their (JPA) desired universities you are fine. JPA does not really look into your Pre-U qualification/results. I mean, they place more importance on the ranking of the university in which you are applying rather than your pre-u results. So as long as you have a valid pre-u qualification that will be alright.

[xiana]

Thanks to all of u for your info,u all really help me much!^^ I really appreciate it :))

Btw,can i have the list of uni and colleges which when u enter their foundation programme, u can apply 4 jpa scholarship for their degree programme??

Mirianchoo: Oh,never mind about the JPA PIDN,u have helped me much^^:laugh

Scholarship discussion thread, not one to condemn scholars :oh Anyway, since you asked, why not pose the question to government then ? I've heard plenty of stories from people, that those scholars in UK (MARA/JPA) are just rich kid from parents with connections. The idea of a scholar being from humble backgrounds is not always the case as I have seen plenty of scholars who flaunt around with the latest gadgets and nicest clothes in campus. The other POV is that, these students have rich parents. Nothing better to spend on, simple as that :oh

PS, any senior reading this ? Plenty of unanswered questions above. No wonder so many newbies are posting in random threads :oh

i'm 15 . may i know that can i still apply for the asean scholarship after i get the pmr's result ? i think i missed the applying date:(

I am studying in Lower Six this year. Since holiday is around the corner, should I try out the SAT test. I would like to enroll in NUS, so I was wondering is it necessary to take the SAT test. Would it increase my chance of being recruited ? BTW, where can I take the SAT test

1. SAT is for USA universities and colleges.

2. NUS does not require SAT but you can apply NUS using SAT test scores.

3. NUS treats all applicants equally as far as I know.

4. The timing is right for SAT if you're serious to apply to USA (LACs, Ivies, Public Universities in USA).

But it depends. Like for me, I finish my A-level in May/June and will probably get my results on August. Because of that, I need to apply with SAT I and II results. For those taking STPM, you guys are in luck. You aren't required to.

Exactly. That's what happen in my college too. I am currently studying in a college where the students are mostly sponsored by JPA and MARA. Not to be criticise anyone but some of the scholars really cant score well and they come from wealthy family. :huh and i was like: huh? why JPA chose them?

Well, it's just not in our place to criticize and even if we do, what good would it do ? Not like JPA/MARA will change their erroneous ways. The sad fact about it is, even if they don't meet their grades, their sponsorship won't be cut. They'll just be relocated to a local institution. Some of my college's JPA graduates failed to meet their cut off point and have secretly been relocated. Unfair I know, but what to do. Just have a good conscience in yourself that you worked hard and fair and square for your piece of the cake :)

Actually even the lecturers here help them during the real A level exams. The lecturers just gave the answers to them in the exam hall. It is so unfair. And they still can't reach the cut-off point though. I was like... speechless.

Whatever happens, don't let that unfairness effect you. Let them have their way at cheating, let them cheat themselves in life for all you care. Fact in life is that cheating and taking every short cut to live successfully will come back to nip you in the butt. Think of it.

They continue to cheat. Fine, let them feel the real pressure of actually studying hard when they go overseas (that is, if they make it) to study. Let them feel the distress in what it actually means to fail.

They can't reach cut-off point. So? Let them be relocated, they will still have a bond to serve. They will still face the problem of government management. The only thing they can dream about is working with those prestigious MNC's of their dreams with that kind of past bugging them in their work resumes later.

The most important thing in studies is yourself and not others. :amuse

Admin's note (Xon): We definitely cannot do anything to change this situation if we keep convincing ourselves to accept and adapt when we're suppose to be those pushing for change. By the way, I think we should cut down on digression here. :>

Interesting to see the angst created from the differences in perception of assessment and award granting. The school I represent have set out with one goal, to provide students without preference to any attribute access to 20 fully paid (subject to terms) IB Diploma scholarships each worth RM 90k over 2 years.

perhaps this will come some way to increasing the scope for opportunity.
