^ Bump bump

Hi everyone! Was about to start a new thread when luckily I found this, haha OCBC Scholarship 2012 applications closed early last week...Anyone applied for this cycle? Yeah I know the scholarship season is pretty much over but I'm glad there's still little glimmers of hope like these around, waiting to be discovered. Let's keep each other posted alright? Are there any other open scholarships you guys know of?

WTF??! How on earth I didnt come across this scholarship

[WhitePhoenix]

Awhh...I'm so sorry about that Well, it was announced in the papers. I didn't see it on those scholarship websites though. This one's through ''manual application'' - Form downloaded, filled and posted to them with relevant documents. But hey, remember that when a door closes a window opens somewhere else, we just gotta find that window And keep trying and searching no matter what! That's why I said let's bring out scholarships that are still open so we can try our luck. Keep each other posted. There are not many as most scholarships have been awarded but still...One just has to be strong.

Not yet.
U apply this scholarship with what qualification?

[WhitePhoenix]

I am a SAM grad...3 weeks edi...I'm getting increasingly nervous >_< I called them this Thursday to check. I called the general line cos the person in charge for scholarships could not be reached. The girl took down my number and said she'd call but up to now no news regarding my status. So...what about you? I mean, your qualifications

I see So, which stream were you in and where was your matric? SAY WHAT? 3 MONTHS? Hold up. You HAVE to be kidding me! No way we have to wait for 3 months! If it's a call confirming that the applicant secured the scholarship then yes but a gap of 3 months before the first interview is like...WOAH. Maybe it wasn't stated clearly. 3 Months. Virtually impossible. Even from this very thread the applicants waited for only a few weeks. Which thread btw? Sorry I'm just shocked. And pretty stunned. :O

I just got a call from OCBC. They're calling me for interview next two weeks. Freaking nervous. Has anyone else got a call?

[WhitePhoenix]

Screw. I had a miss call this late evening. Wonder if it's them. At this point I lagi nervous than you lol. Hope so! What's the number that called you? It says private number. Is that them? Around 7pm right? I just hope I get a call tomorrow! When exactly is your interview date? I really need to plan ahead for transport and all. Thanks
