MARA medcine/ surgery scholarship
MAJLIS Amanah Rakyat (MARA) sponsorship is now available to Bumiputera students seeking to study Monash University’s Bachelor of Medicine or Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme at its Sunway campus in Petaling Jaya.
The sponsorship is under MARA’s Open Application Scheme. Selection of students will be based on their pre-university results, performance in the semi-structured interview as well as the results of an aptitude test.
To meet the requirements, students must first score three principals in the STPM or A-Levels with an “A” in chemistry.
Apart from that, those who score excellent results in other pre-university programmes such as Australian Matriculation, Australian Year 12, Monash University Foundation Year, Canadian Matriculation, Canadian International Matriculation Programme and International Baccalaureate will also be eligible for a sponsorship. Pre-requisite subjects include English or English as a Second Language (ESL) and chemistry.
Students whose pre-university qualifications do not include English or ESL must demonstrate their English language proficiency through the A-level or TOEFL English tests.
Apart from offering sponsorship for medicine, MARA also offers sponsorships for other Monash degree courses including engineering, information technology, business and science.
The sponsorships provided by MARA are interest-free and the repayment amount may be reduced if students achieve excellent results.

this scholarship is only provided to malays. malaysia is a nation not only owned by malays, but other races too.how about other race students score better. aren’t they are more suitable to gain scholarship. if this situation continues,”malaysia boleh, pun jadi tak boleh

MARA should give their scholarship for other races students too. this is mainly to proof that malaysia is a peaceful country.

What is it with the racism here? You all can still apply for JPA. Just follow the channel that has been inclined to your requirement, i mean Malaysia is a great country and they treat every kind regardless of the race nor their religion. You all should be thankful not disappointed. Anyway i want to ask, stated here that only pre-university leavers will be applicable to apply for MARA scholarship, how about spm leavers? Some say that we probably have to get an offer from a certain college first then we can apply for MARA. Do help me please.

No,no!!
MARA is for the Malays whom are not rich enough to pay for their studies BUT with an excellent result. It is not discrimanation or anything, its just the speciality that the Malays have since long time ago. So my opinion is, if you want the scholarship, what you should do is get an A1 for every subject you take.
Please inform me further info about MARA scholarship. I’m waiting for that sholarship too..

it isn’t that the gov is somehow unfair or whatever~~
the thing is called hak keistimewaan org melayu~~
the malays are the bumis~~the original occupants of the tanah melayu~~
we have to respect their rights~~

Not trying to be a racist, but all of this so called “Hak Keistimewaan Melayu” are rubbish. The government is just so bias. You Malays won’t have any complaints about this just because you’re getting all the benefits and advantages. Dude, what about us? I’m NOT saying that my anonymous race is better than yours, but at least be more considerate towards us.
PS: suprabarma you should improve on your English before giving any comments. Using screwed-up English to condemn others is disgraceful.
