For this post, I will be sharing some corporations where students can apply for a scholarship in Malaysia.
Where to apply for a scholarship in Malaysia?
If you are a Form Five or Form Six student in Malaysia, and you are not from a well-off family, most probably you and your parents are worried about your next step – where to get money to fund your college or university years.
For relatives and friends who shared their concern to me about not being able to further study due to no education fund or not enough education fund, my first advice to them would be, make sure you score a good result in your exam.
Because it’s always easier for you to apply for a scholarship if you have an outstanding result.
Another point to increase the possibility for you to be selected is to excel in the subjects related to your interest or area. For example, if your dream is to be a doctor, you must be doing very well in Biology and Chemistry. If your dream is to be an engineer, your Math and Physics must be among your best-scored subjects.
I understand how hard it is to find ways to fund your tertiary education.
So, I had done some research on scholarship applications in Malaysia. Refer to the details below.

Final thoughts
Do take your time to do more research on available scholarships. Keep your eyes open on local media such as radio, tv or newspaper announcements.
And always remember, choosing where to have your tertiary education can be among the most important decisions in your life that could affect you financially.
Wishing you all the best in your study.
