Scholarships
What are Scholarships?
Scholarships are defined as monetary awards for education. We all know that scholarships are
generally given to over-achievers or leaders in various fields of academics, arts, sports or on a needs
basis. The award can range from a few hundred ringgit to the entire cost of your education - and even
includes living allowance.
However, it is important to note that scholarships are not free money. Most organisations who offer
scholarships do so because they want to invest in your lives. Some would expect you to develop
a career in specific disciplines, for example, oil and gas, at their companies. Some will expect the
scholars to contribute in terms of serving the community or being ambassadors for the organisation.
Sports scholarships are mostly offered to athletes who have the ability to shine and play at highly
competitive sports events to represent the learning institution.
In Malaysia, most scholarships are awarded by higher learning institutions, government and
non-government organisations, corporations and independent foundations. In almost all cases,
scholarships are not given automatically, so you will need to submit an application and go through a
selection process.
You will be competing with hundreds, if not thousands, of other hopeful applicants, so it is important
that you put a lot of thought into the application process and go prepared for your interview. Therefore,
take some time to do research on the various types of scholarships, get advice from people who
have walked that path (and this is where social media is really handy) and be sure to create as many
achievements as possible while you are still in school. You might just obtain the scholarship you have
been aiming for, along with other amazing benefits to get started on achieving your dream career.
This booklet will guide you on how the application process works, plus tips for securing a scholarship.
We have also included a list of scholarships available, so that you can get started.
All the best!
Rsum Writing
a. Format your rsum wisely
Draft out your rsum before writing. Ensure the flow is smooth and tells a great story about
you.
b. Identify your accomplishments
Be sure to impress them with your best academic and sports or community achievements!
Any achievements from your school days are important to dazzle them with how talented you
are. Define your roles and goals along the way to show you are a person with big ambitions.
c. Personalise your rsum
Do not just use the same rsum when applying to various scholarships. It is good to
tweak your rsum specifically for the organisation. It is also good to include a letter of
recommendation or a reference letter by a significant person in your life, like a sports coach,
social club leader or a religious leader.
d. Write from your heart!
Highlight your strengths, but yet write from your heart. Everyones rsum will be different,
therefore dont compare and dont be afraid. Be natural with your writing, but ensure it is
also within the professional scope no SMS language or urban English words such as
psyched, stoked, or even swag, please! You can also include your best photo that was
taken professionally.
e. Simple English and no room for errors
A rsum should be simple and presented clearly. Stick to simple English and short sentences.
Check your rsum numerous times before submitting, for spelling errors. You should also
get a good friend or mentor to proof-read this for you.

Financial Loans
What are Financial Loans?
Financial loans are money, property or other material goods borrowed in exchange for future repayment
of the principal amount, along with interest or other finance charges. In Malaysia, financial study loans
are given out to students who would like to further their education be it locally or overseas. Examples of
organisations that have these loans are PTPTN, MCA/MIEC, Kuok Foundation and Kojadi Education.
Financial loans come with very minimal requirements generally, you have be a Malaysian citizen,
at a certain age and have earned a certain qualification. They also have very minimal interest rates,
like PTPTN is only 1% and once you start work, the loan can be repaid gradually. All the necessary
information can be found from the respective websites.
Do I need a Guarantor?
The application process for these loans can be a little sticky and tedious but its for all the right
reasons, as your lender needs to be assured that the loan will be repaid at the end of your education
period.
For this reason, you need a guarantor. The best guarantors are your parents. Dont be concerned if
your parents face financial difficulties, or are no longer around because leeway is given to special
cases. They will be asked to provide their personal information, as well as their financial statements
to justify why that you need a loan.

High Achievers Scholarship (HAS)
Life in SEGi:
As a medical student, our time table is always packed with lectures,
assessments and practicals. However, with proper time management,
I am still able to get a healthy and happy lifestyle while training to
be a good doctor. The medical degree at SEGi is student-centered,
where lecturers are willing to spend time with the students to explain
lecture material. Teamwork is also a key part of the philosophy of the
programme which prepares the students for their work as future doctors.
Scholarship Tips:
Remember that it is all about your very best to achieve what you want,
as well as having a positive attitude towards your studies.

High Achievers Scholarship (HAS)
Life at SEGi:
As a SEGi scholarship holder, Im exposed to more learning experience.
Working 5 hours a week as a student helper at SEGi is definitely worth it.
The experience that I had gained working here can never be achieved by
studying from text books. Other than that, maintaining my CGPA might
be challenging but this pressure serves as my motivation to work harder.
Scholarship Tips:
Work hard and do your best. Do not let this great opportunity to obtain a
scholarship to just slip away!
Life in SEGi:
My experience in SEGi has been great. The lecturers are knowledgeable,
professional and very helpful. Ive learnt a lot in the first year of my
studies here. Apart from that, I also got to know many new friends here.
Scholarship Tips:
For all who wish to obtain a scholarship, do not hesitate to ask your
course consultant or the scholarship coordinators for information on
the scholarship. Once you have obtained the scholarship, get yourself
motivated to study hard so you can get good grades. Good grades also
guarantee a better future for you.
