Hi Harvin,
JPA scholarship is for spm leavers only. if you are doing your degree now, i don’t think you can apply for the scholarship. you have to try for others. scholarship info will appear from time to time, so you have to keep an eye on websites and newspapers.

Hello sir.
I’m currently in my first year, first semester at Universiti Teknologi Petronas. I’m planning to apply for Petronas scholarship as 80% of the students here are Petronas scholars.
Beginning of this year, they have postponed our application for Petronas scholarship to June as they would like to consider our first semester result.
I’m quite worried of paying my tuition fees on my own as it is too expensive for this particular semester.I hope you can suggest me any foundation or any organization that could sponsor my fees for the first semester.
Thank you.

Hi Vilashini,
Have you approached your state government or yayasan? each state has its own Yayasan and state govt do offer loans/scholarships as well. it will be best to surf the website of your state govt.
other than that, you can try MCEF. Some big temples, koperasi (NESA etc) and clan associations (vanniyar sangam, for example) also offer help, but you need to contact them directly. There’s also AMMA foundation which offered scholarship last time. All this names can be googled.

Hi Vasanth,
The info is available in the links. the requirement says you should have A-levels qualifications. pls read the links given under the Brunei scholarship topic.
3.22 is still ok, provided you also have some strong extra curricular activities/achievements.
as for other scholarships, you have to keep looking from time to time.

Hi Ambigai,
If its your final year, you can’t apply PTPTN. How about trying for MIED (6% interest) or MCEF? You can also approach your state government or Yayasan Negeri. Other than that, another option is Bank Loan.

Hi Sir, I am Reena here. My brother is waiting for his SPM 2009. He is very interested in pursuing his studies in piloting or engineering. Can you please advice us on how to go about the enrolment and scholarship application.
Reply
poobalan reply on February 12th, 2010:
Hi Reena,
For pilot course, bear in mind its not an academic program, but actually studying for a license (just like car license, but far more expensive). so, scholarship is very hard to come by, and mostly offered by airline companies only. other than that, parents take up loan. there are few recruitment companies in malaysia, but you should visit http://www.dca.gov.my which is the govt dept which can provide advice and guideline. they also have list of registered companies/flying academies etc.
as for engineering, your brother have to take a foundation or pre-u program before entering year 1 of degree for engineering. most colleges provide both pre-u (a-levels, CPU, SAM, etc) and foundation programs so that you can continue in the same college/degree. there are minimum requirements for studying engineering – usually foundation is at least 5 credits, while diploma is 3 credits.
Scholarship would depend on SPM results. some scholarships application do allow for using forecast result, but only during application. another route for engineering is via STPM. there are some scholarships listed in this page like Star Education Fund and so on. Others will be posted when available. you can also refer to other website with scholarship details as listed in “websites” page.

Hi Sir, I am Rina here and waiting for my SPM 2009 result. I’m very interested in pursuing my studies in Medicine or Nutrition Dietician, for your information also I already apply online for Matrikulasi and IPTA . I really hope to get seat in Matrikulasi but changes are slim because I’m Indian Muslim and not bumiputra. Can your please advice me any other optional or scholarship to apply.
Reply
poobalan reply on February 19th, 2010:
Hi Rina,
Since you have applied for matrik and IPTA, next would be JPA scholarship – wait till SPM results are out. Other scholarships will be announced from time to time, so you have to keep an eye on the papers and internet.
other options – study in private for the courses you mentioned. you can apply for Star Education Fund, or if results are good, even the colleges/IPTS cam give good discounts for fees.

Hi Jackie,
You results are quite good since you have 8As. you can try for scholarships if the actual results are equal or better than this. if you get 10As then most colleges give scholarships or huge discount for the fees. JPA scholarship is a bit hard, but not impossible – can give a try as well.

And my family can’t afford for the fees(RM80,000 a year)after that, i only can change my ambition of being a pilot… Erm..then may i know wat is the qualification to apply scholarship/loan from such airline companies ? thx a lot sir…
poobalan reply on March 4th, 2010:
Hi Jackie,
Yes, airlines like MAS, AA, SIA do offer scholarships but I haven’t heard the advertisement so far this year. It depends on their need and finance as well.
Qualification is similar to any other scholarships – good results in certain subjects, good health, pass some aptitude tests etc. Some may ask for STPM/A-Levels qualifications.
jackie reply on March 4th, 2010:
@poobalan,
thx a lot sir,…
may i know the locations about where the aptitude tests are taken ? more info about tis scholarship and the steps to apply it….thx
poobalan reply on March 5th, 2010:
Jackie: the tests depends on the companies. May be in their training center or at their office or some neutral place like hotels etc.
Scholarships detail differ between airlines, and sometimes even change year after year. so, we can’t really say much until it is advertised. steps to apply is usually to download form, fill up and send back to company. not sure if there’s any online application this year.
and do note that not necessarily airlines will offer scholarship this year. it depends on them.
jackie reply on March 6th, 2010:
@poobalan,
thx sir for sharing a lot of info with me…u have solved my problem as well as my parents’ problem … ^.^
poobalan reply on February 23rd, 2010:
Hi Jackie,
Pilot study is not a degree program. its a process to acquire a license, just like car driving license. Its called CPL (commercial pilot license). So, you go to a flying academy or flying club to get the license. DCA (www.dca.gov.my) has the details on procedures etc., so you can refer there.
Scholarships are mostly via the airline companies since you will most likely end up working there. so, try the usual companies – MAS, AirAsia, SIA etc.

Hi, i need your help and advise..
i just got my stpm result, i done it badly, only got 2.9 out of 4. i was told it is very hard for me to get any good courses in local public uni and it’s better for me to apply private uni. i couldn’t really afford my study in private for critical subjects like health science subjects. my result is bad and my parent’s income almost rm4000, so automatically i won’t be eligible to apply scholarships. So i am stuck in nowhere, do not know where to go and how to do. please help me.
Reply
poobalan reply on March 1st, 2010:
Hi Anne,
2.9 is still OK. but remember, you need to have minimum 3 Cs as well – 1 PA and 2 from other subjects. If you fulfill the requirements, then you can refer to stpmindians.blogspot.com or quansheng.org (this site is temporarily down for the moment) to check the cut-off marks guideline.
the “good” courses are of course harder to get, but try to apply for the lesser known IPTAs.
also, some scholarships put financial status as secondary. as long as results are excellent, students will stand a chance. besides, studying in IPTS can consider applying for PTPTN.
my advice – you mentioned health sciences courses. so, go to UPU site, see which IPTAs offer these courses, and check the cut-off marks from the two websites i gave above. from there, make your choice and apply. if you don’t get IPTA later, then can consider IPTS.

anne reply on March 3rd, 2010:
@poobalan,
thanks a lot for the website!
i got PA:A-, Math T:C+, Chem: B, Bio: B-
i am interested in dietetics, ‘oleokimia’, marine but my teacher told me it’s impossible for me to get it because they will choose students with about cgpa3.5 or above. So her advise is choose courses with low requirement and less popular uni. But in this case, the minimum requirement for dietetics in UPM is 3.00 for chemistry and A for bio in spm (i met both requirement) but for UDM (less popular uni) need total cgpa of 3.00 and at least B for both chem and bio (which i am not eligible).
So i am confused. i do not know how to apply! i choose less popular uni but their requirements are higher while if i choose those requirements that i’m able to meet those are normally UPM, UM. weird!
(my teacher replied: “don’t choose any health science courses, ‘oleokimia’ or marine – those are critical courses, for my result won’t be able to make myself a seat there” but i am interested in those. My teacher said this can’t apply, that can’t apply, i really have no idea what to apply then. pls help me!)

poobalan reply on March 3rd, 2010:
hi Anne,
its a difficult situation alright, and life’s about making tough decisions.
let’s refer to the source available which is the cut-off marks guideline at stpmindians.blogspot.com which is a GUIDELINE only. then, cross check with the courses available (use UPU website) that your marks (2.92). you need to practically go through hundreds of courses to short list those you can safely apply, having fulfilled all requirements, and within the cut-off range. it will take probably 2 full days of hard work to do that.
i admit that in some cases (like yours), can’t get the course you like due to competition in popular uni and higher syarat khas in other newer uni. so, what to do? be realistic:
1. look at private education – IPTS where you can choose your IPTS and you course to a certain extent.
2. change your interests to something that fits the various IPTA syarats.
or, be daring and just apply to IPTA based on nearest best-fit and keeping your fingers crossed.
are you referring to marine engineering? or marine studies?
in the end, your teacher, myself and others only can provide advice and opinion, the choice is still yours.
hi sir…may i knw hw to apply singapore uni ?
Is there any scolarship offer to study in sg? wat is the requirement?
if i borrow loan to study in sg, do i need to spend a lot for the tuition fees, accomodation……?
Reply
poobalan reply on March 3rd, 2010:
Hi XiNer,
you have to apply to each uni separately i think. i don’t know if they have a centralised system like UPU. you can refer to scholarship page, where there’s one from singapore govt itself. there may be other scholarships from time to time, that offers study course both locally or overseas.
obviously the cost of living is higher and coupled with exchange rate, it will be more expensive to live and study in singapore compared to malaysia.

Hi, i am a pure science student, currently waiting for my SPM result. Now i am still not sure of what career to be. I am quite interested in psychology but i scare if i study that it is not easy to get a job. I had visited the job street web, jobs for psychology are so rare. I found that accounting and finance had the most job vacancies.( I studied account as an extra subject in SPM). On the other hand, i like science and researches on it. So… I am really confused what career to be. =.= Hope you can give some suggestion. Thx.
Reply
poobalan reply on March 3rd, 2010:
Hi Jiun,
often given advice is that follow a career that interests you, as it is something you will be doing for a long part of your life (well, usually). but that also need to be checked against your skills and results. Psychology is having less vacancies because its a specialised field with few places where you can work. Finance/Accounts on the other hand is needed by every organisation, so naturally there’s more vacancies (but of course, more competition!)
most of the time, for specialised courses, students will learn about their industry and where they can work in future, after they have studied for some time. The college/uni may hire them, or they may join NGOs, government sector, schools, medical centres etc.
i can’t really decide for you on this. if you feel that you will be interested in psychology and don’t mind working anywhere, then go for it. if you are worried about getting jobs and prefer something stable, then go for the normal stuff like finance/accounts.

Hi Siva,
JPA scholarship is for SPM leavers. Other scholarships depends on when its available. Petronas, MARA etc offer scholarship, you have to wait for the advertisement. As for loan, PTPTN offers certain amount only. There’s MCEF which offers after you have studied for certain years. JPA has a loan scheme but for overseas study.

I would like to know if I got 12 A+ will they consider 10 A+ only or 12 A+ for jpa or any other scholarship? i’m not taking any tamil subjects in additional.

Hi XiNer,
Section B – you need to enter details of the course you applied for (put in the first choice course you made in UPU application). expected start date: 4 july 2010, and expected end date is four years later. for fees, you need to check the uni website. other costs like accommodation, food etc : just estimate it. finally, put the value of how much you expect from kuok foundation. remember this:
For students in Malaysian Public Universities
The value of each award will be:
a.
RM10,000/- p.a. for Medicine / Dentistry / Veterinary Medicine
b. RM9,000/- p.a. for Science based courses

hi Vaduz,
loan for overseas studies are not many. PTPTN offers loan for MQA recognised programs, so it does not include overseas courses.

Hi Mr. Poobalan
I am a concerned mum. My daughter is waiting for her SPM 2009 results and has not decided on her career choice. She doesn’t want to do Form Six. I am lost as to what she can do for her pre-u studies. How to choose between A-Levels, AUSMAT, SAM, foundation, etc. We are an average income family. Your advise is appreciated.
Mrs. Lim

poobalan reply on March 8th, 2010:
Mrs Lim,
You are not the only one concerned!
I dare say some parents may be even more concerned than their children themselves. it shows how much we care for our kids future, so nothing wrong in that.
Well, your daughter had made some choices, so that’s a good beginning. NO to STPM is already one choice. To decide on what to or not to do, i’ll suggest the following:
1. decide on career (let’s say 3 or 5 choices). to decide on career, look at her results and see what subjects she did well. some times results can be deceiving. maybe she did well in biology, but that’s because she forced herself to memorise all the stuff in the books
secondly, as parents, try help her to identify her traits – friendliness, independence, creative, systematic, cool, plans ahead, calculative, outdoor person, high stamina, likes to draw, enjoys music, debater, combative, helpful, indoors person, loner, etc. from there, can try to identify which career MAY suit her personality.
2. by deciding on career above, we can then proceed to narrow the pre-u options to take. this also depends on whether you can finance her studies overseas or want to complete locally. if locally, then there’s not much of a difference. aussie programs offered in local college/uni means you can take SAM, Ausmat. If UK based programs – students usually take a-levels. if american based programs, take ADTP. or if not interested to change colleges, then just take foundation and complete degree in that college itself. now, most colleges/uni accept multiple entry paths, so there’s not much difference between the pre-u program you mentioned. there differences that exist:
SAM/AUSMAT – 50% exam, 50% coursework. uses ranking system instead of grading (A,B, C etc). suitable if not taking critical degrees like medicine, dentistry etc. considered as slightly easier to pass.
A-Levels – more study oriented. if really not sure what degree to do, take this. but still need to decide on subjects to take which in a way will limit your career options. accepted worlwide.
CPU – more coursework oriented than SAM/AUSMAT.
IB-more all-rounder qualifications. some say its tougher, some say its enjoyable. also accepted in many places.

Hi Mr.Poobalan.
I’m currently waiting for my SPM2009 result.I wish to pursue pharmacy course.Sir , is foundation in science a basic requirement for pharmacy course n can u explain further about pharmacy course.And is it okay if I don’t want to do form 6? And is psychology a good course as in does it guarantee a bright future??
Thank you.
Reply
poobalan reply on March 10th, 2010:
Hi Thunita,
to pursue ANY degree course, you will need a pre-uni qualification. this can come in 3 forms – foundation, pre-u or diploma. foundation is like foundation in science offered by colleges. pre-u is like A-Levels, CPU, SAM, Ausmat, STPM. diploma would be diploma in pharmacy.
so, yes, its ok if you don’t do form 6, as long as you do one of the above – foundation, pre-u or diploma. foundation is about one year, and usually easiest method, but require higher qualification (5 credits at least, and usually min B in few subjects).
pharmacy is a good course, and you will work as a pharmacist. read about it at afterschool.my or just search in wikipedia. in fact, if you just search “career pharmacy” in internet, you can learn alot. try it
psychology is also a good course. both have good prospect, but in terms of jobs available, pharmacy is more. remember, if you take pharmacy, you have to work in government (compulsory service) for 3 years.

hi sir, i need your help and advice.
currently im doing A level(Accounting) and will be sitting for my final exams this coming may. I already got an university offer thru UCAS with my forecast result. How do i use it to apply for scholarships? Firstly, what are the scholarships that are available for me? And when should I apply for it?
-sorry for troubling you..
Reply
poobalan reply on March 10th, 2010:
Hi Irwan,
well, usually you can use the uni offer letter, AND your forecast results first to apply scholarships. some scholarships that ask for SPM result also can, provided you clearly mention that you are about to finish a-levels and secured a place in uni. sometimes, the provider will consider few exception cases, so you should give a try to everything possible.
as for which scholarships, there’s more than 20 in this blog itself, so give a try to those that requirements you meet!
When to apply, of course before deadline

Yes it does, but not to say a lot of job opportunities like engineering or accounts or business studies. its a specialised field, so mainly those companies involved in banking, finance, insurance, investment, economic research etc will employ actuarists.

Jess,
Actuarial Science is about calculations. so, you have to love numbers and theories
. read about it at:

or wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuarial_science
UTAR: http://www.utar.edu.my/fes/file/9.AS.pdf
there’s few uni like UM, UITM, UKM, USIM, UTAR, Help, Inti, Taylors.
qualifications: you’ll need good results, meaning better than average results in pre-uni like a-levels or stpm or foundation program.

fyi, i was under jpa scholarship when i was in form 6, we(students) who continued form 6 got a sum of money..but now since my pointer is lower than 3, i no longer gonna get my scholarship continued..
N i always wanted to become a doctor but now since my parents have to ’sponsor’ me, i feel reluctant to continue n thinking of doin pharmacy.
n i have been thinking of doin it in AIMST
university..my questions are:
1. can i apply for any scholarship(jpa) later in my first year of studies if i have been excelling throughout my exams in uni?
2. im bornt in perak n so were my parents.. i have heard of biasiswa perak.. can u give further details about it?
3. pharmacy&abroad..can i go abroad after i finish doin my degree(for the purpose of working)?
~im kinda depressed thinking bout all these~
looking forward for ur kind reply sir..
thanks alot sir:D

poobalan reply on March 10th, 2010:
1. JPA scholarship is for SPM leavers only. so, answer is no. unless you study overseas and apply for its loan.
2. there’s two biasiswa perak and yayasan perak. and both are loans. refer http://www.yayasanperak.com.my and biasiswa.perak.gov.my
3. yes you can. PROVIDED, the degree you do is recognised in that country. so, if you want to work in australia, then you check with the australian higher education dept or pharmacy board if the uni you plan to enrol in is accepted.
no need depressed, take it easy, there’s always options and choices. sometimes we just need to adjust a bit.

i am interested to persue my study to dietician.
i am sure that i am not taking stpm.
so can sir help me to figure out where should i go?
like taking foundation or a levels? why cant i find diploma for this course?>.<

poobalan reply on March 11th, 2010:
hi pohyee,
diploma for dietitian is quiet rare. in fact i have heard of it so far. you should go for foundation if you got at least 5 credits in SPM and good results in biology, chemistry. else, you can continue a-levels.
you can check both studymalaysia.com and afterschool.my that have list of courses offered in malaysia. also, can visit Facon education fair this weekend at klcc.

Hi there.
Well, i just got my spm results and i’m totally shocked. I was expecting straight A’s as I am one of my school’s top achievers but it was not meant to be. My results are as follows:
BM- A+
BI- A+
MT- A-
SEJ- A+
ADD MT- A+
BIO- B+
PHY- B
CHEM- B
MORAL- B
I was expecting so much! What should i do now? Would the JPA scholarship still be eligible? Or should i continue A-levels or STPM?

poobalan reply on March 11th, 2010:
Hi Savina,
sometimes its like that. well, you can do an appeal, but most likely no changes.
you can try JPA scholarship, but read the RULES page first at JPA website. some of the scholarships allow for applicants with at least 5 As, but its not for medical or engineering programs.
while waiting for JPA results, you can enrol in pre-u or even take foundation course (if you know your ambition). if finance is a problem, then STPM is the option. if parents can support, better do a-levels or foundation which is much easier than STPM. STPM is a risk because have to study hard, and place in uni is not guaranteed.

hi Weyan,
I can’t really say which because there’s two pages of info in this blog itself and there’s links to few other scholarship related websites. just go thru the requirements and apply where it fits. when i was at your age, i applied for nearly everything that came out in paper
at worse, just spend some money on photostating, envelopes and stamps.
