Today I'm gonna share information about scholarships...mostly from useful outside sources (with a little personal opinion at the end of this post).
Here's an article describing some of the most common myths about scholarships (of any kind) and the truth behind it. To be honest, after SPM results were out, I took many of those myths to be true, too. Hope that these can clear the questions of anyone intending to apply for scholarships of any kind: Scholarship Myths Debunked
The parent site where this article came from, doctorjob.com.my, is very informative about post-SPM options, tertiary education information and career advice as well. Do check it out. Another good and comprehensive website about these information would be afterschool.my. Both sites have Q&A sections too, where you can ask any questions about tertiary education.
And of course, for real-time advice and information about scholarships and discussions about current issues and student experiences, there's always Recom.org. Be inspired by the articles in this week's edition of Remag about education as well :)
As for my personal opinion on scholarships? Well, generally I think that any prospective scholarship applicant must first know how to appreciate the scholarship, and abide to the conditions set by the body offering the scholarship. Not everyone gets one, you know, so if you do get one, be grateful.
Students should also, in my opinion, ought to have a passion for learning and improving themselves in terms of acquiring knowledge in general, a passion in the things they enjoy (and considerable effort to commit to action and excel in those areas instead of just saying that they like doing something), someone interested in current affairs and events, long-sightedness about personal life plans, as well as confidence and maturity in carrying themselves.
I'm still working on these qualities...How about you? And even if you have no intention of applying for scholarships now, I think every student should strive to cultivate these qualities in pursuing excellence...
