Updated 14 Jun 2023
Are you an SPM 2022 student who has recently received your results? Congratulations!
If you've scored well in your SPM exams and are now considering various scholarship options, we've got your back.
We have compiled a list of some of the most prestigious and sought-after scholarships in Malaysia. Most of these scholarships will cover not just your foundation / pre-university studies but your degree as well. What's more, some may even cover your studies abroad.
Before we dive into the details, let's address some important considerations first.
#1. Essential consideration points
a. When is the deadline?
Most of these scholarships won’t stay open for long so speed is key. One thing to keep in mind is that the application period usually closes a couple of weeks after SPM results are released so be sure to apply as soon as possible.
b. Is it applicable to your field of interest?
Some scholarships only cover certain fields of study, so do make sure you’re applying to one that covers your interests. This is particularly relevant for scholarships related to certain industry-specific companies like PETRONAS and Shell.
c. Is it bonded?
Another important factor you should consider is whether the scholarship is bonded or not. A bonded scholarship usually comes with a stipulation that you must work with the scholarship provider for a set amount of time. This is something to consider if you would like to keep your employment options open.
