Latest news, It is said that students with 9A+ and above will get PSD sholarships but obviously there still have to look through other criterias such as koku, family income and the INTERVIEW!! If i'm not mistaken, 50 best students in SPM will receive scholarships to international unis.. We shall all pray to God that we even get the scholarship.. =)

I am a bit confused.Where will they send me to study pre-u?? Is it A-level??or matriks??or STPM?? because the link given stated that antara program persediaan(pre-u) adalah A-level/IB,matriks,STPM,Asasi.If it is STPM,why should they give me this bursary???everyone also can study STPM wat???

They said :"Sila layari laman sesawang Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia di [LINK=http://www.moe.gov.my/]www.moe.gov.my[/LINK] untuk membuat semakan dan pengemaskinian profil pelajar program busary mulai 16 April, 2012."
Does it mean that we can't do anything but to wait till 16 April 2012?

[NicoleJY]

Does this mean all the students that have obtained 9A+ and above wouldn't have to go through interviews to be applicable for the bursary? Frankly I'm a bit confused about this announcement.

Ya, that is really confusing. It's bursaries and later on we still have to attend interview to be eligible for PILN.So seriously, the PILN system really doesn't change .

if STPM, they will give u allowance every month. After STPM,if u manage 2 get a place in IPTS, they will sponsor you. Maybe u will have priority to get the scholarship after STPM.
