Scholarships! That’s the first thing in a students mind after doing well in exams such as SPM or STPM. Regarding scholarships in Malaysia, not many come close to being as all encompassing as the annual The Star Education Fund with this year’s Scholarship Awards 2011. A total of 29 education institutes are offering scholarships to Malaysians which meet their criteria. So Berry Berry Easy would highly recommend all SPM 2010 candidates irrespective of results to apply for these scholarships. You’ll never know the outcome until you apply.
[Attention: As application forms must be received by The Star Education Fund office latest by 2 weeks after the release of SPM or STPM results, this means that the deadline is 6/7 April 2011 for SPM 2010 candidates. (We're unsure of the exact date, so preferably you get it done by Monday, 4th of April 2011. Why do it last-minute when you can do it early? For STPM, I guess the deadline is over for you all.]
