BREAKING NEWS! MOE Scholarship

We would like to announce that the issue of not being able to apply to local institutions if you are applying for a scholarship has now been cleared.

If you refer to page 7 of the official MOE document it says that under the section of "Permohonan yang tidak dipertimbangkan", one of the factors that makes you ineligible to apply for scholarship is "Mereka yang diterima/ditawarkan tempat di instituti pendidikan tinggi dalam negeri".

The scholarship section at the MOE has clarified that what they mean by the above statement is, those that CURRENTLY STUDYING in UBD or ITB are not eligible for the MOE scholarship.

Therefore,
YOU CAN APPLY FOR MOE SCHOLARSHIP AND UBD/ITB AT THE SAME TIME.

We very much regret the any confusion and inconvenience caused.

Another point that we cleared up was that if you want to apply for the MOE scholarship but hope to boost your exam grades by taking the June exams then the scholarship section will only take your exam grades taken in ONE SITTING. i.e. you can NOT use the best grades from both November and June exams. Therefore if you are not satisfied with your grades and want to take June exams, you'd need to sit for all THREE A level core subjects!

MOE Scholarship Exhibition

The Scholarship Section under the Ministry of Education will be holding an exhibition on,
Saturday, 9th February 2008, at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Jalan Berakas.

The launching of the event will be at 8.30am, hence it should be open to the public after that. We strongly suggest all our students, present and leavers, to come to the above event to have a more comprehensive knowledge about the different types of scholarships available, courses offered and the entry requirements! Plus, you cna also ask them directly about any queries you might have regarding the scholarships.

MOE Scholarship Application

The final date of submission for the above application is
Monday, 11th February 2008

The plan of study is what we also call the scholarship essay. Basically it's a 200 word statement that you have to write concerning your course. A rough guideline to do this is as follows,

Break it into 3 paragraphs.
First paragraph - WHY do you want to do the course
Second Paragraph - WHAT does the course include i.e. a brief description of the course and topics covered.
Third Paragraph - FUTURE PLANS, especially in terms of how you'd be able to help the Government with a degree in the course applied for.

Please make sure you show a rough draft of the plan of study to your HEU counsellor to make sure that we'd be able to tweak out any grammar mistake or irrelevant material.

The confidential report (laporan sulit) should be handed in to your HEU counsellor who will then forward it to MOE with your reference attached.
Please make sure that you've filled in your name, IC number and course applied for in the relevant boxes and on the top right hand corner, write, in pencil, your AE and your A level grades.

Apart from that remember to have your certificates chopped and endorsed by the registrar and you've made a copy of the course content by photocopying or downloading from the University's prospectus.
