As stated, Shell Scholarship is open for SPM leaver. Don't have to worry of the English. for SPM holders, u dun need. A couple of my friends applied last year and went for the interview. Note: there is more than one stage of the interview process.

Christinecat: try again. you should be able to apply online.

Thanks nicky But i'm stumped at the very first part where they ask you to choose local or overseas XD I can't seem to copy and paste the tick sign into one of the boxes without messing up the alignment of items

[billiejean]

erm.. i'm really puzzled with this scholarship application... when i clicked apply now, it went to the page asking where i'm currently residing now and etc. etc.. But I'm an spm leaver.. how do i apply this scholarship? Can someone guide me? I really appreciate your help...

[Nicholasng925]

yeah same thing happen to me too. I just simply can't apply for that and it's just so hectic. I have downloaded the application form and filled up the form, just that i can't really choose whether local or overseas by just using computer. Maybe i dunno how... and then i'm just a SPM leaver, yet its asking what is the course you are doing NOW and a lot more strange questions which i would never expected to encounter when applying a scholarship. Hope someone can clarify it. Thanks in advance.
