The following tips by ehow might be useful for those who attending the scholarship interview.
Step 1:
Research important aspects of what you plan on majoring in during college. Find out how well this field is growing and what you can offer once you graduate. Interviewers want reasons for why you are choosing a specific field of study.
Step 2:
Write down why you deserve a college scholarship. List your positive attributes and contributions and practice talking about them with a friend or family member.
Step 3:
Know your personal philosophies and beliefs. College scholarship interview panels want proof of dedication to your field of study by checking that you’ve given some thought to your future major.
Step 4:
Prepare for questions about your financial standing if interviewing for a need-based scholarship. These questions may seem embarrassing, but the interview panel needs proof that you do need financial help for college.
Step 5:
Gather and organize all necessary material you plan on bringing to the interview. The scholarship board may tell you what they want but if they don’t, then bring along a portfolio, extra recommendations and a resume if you have one.
Step 6:
Review answers to basic questions the night before your interview. Make sure that your answers show why you deserve a college scholarship.
Step 7:
Dress for success by planning your outfit the night before. Don’t wear anything trendy or sloppy. Men should stick with dress pants, dress shirt and tie, while women should choose a dress or pant suit.

LAUNCHED in October 2001, the Malaysian Australian Alumni Council (MACC) Scholarships build on the spirit of the Colombo Plan, which enabled some 4,000 Malaysians to study in Australia from the early 1950s until the mid-1980s.
The MACC Scholarships take the Colombo Plan a step further by providing for a two-way exchange of scholars between Malaysia and Australia. The scholarships include full or partial waivers of tuition fees and are offered to Malaysian and Australian students to undertake their tertiary education in each other’s countries.
The scholarship is spearheaded by the MAAC, an umbrella organisation for Australian university alumni in Malaysia, and IDP Education Australia Pty Ltd (Malaysia) administrates Australia-bound scholarships.
Application is now open for the 2008 round, with nine participating Australian universities offering various scholarships for Malaysian applicants. For more information, visit www.australia.org.my or call IDP Education at 03-2162-3755.

Thank you to the government for providing many good news especially for the education industry. Amongst other interesting highlight during the 2008 budget is on the increases of the Public Services Department from RM5,000 to RM10,000/annum for critical courses and also science courses.
This move will definitely be followed by the Private Company to increase their scholarship value to ensure their scholarship is attractive enough or at least at par of JPA scholarship.

The CV (resume, in American English) is meant to introduce you and your background to somebody who does not know you and barely has time to get to know you. It should present you in the best possible light, in a concise and well-structured manner. There are plenty of resume-writing guides out there, that can teach you to the smallest details how to write one. Their regular problem is that they do not agree with each other when it comes to details. This is why we have put here together a number of generally agreed guide-lines, plus some specific details that could help EE students. A regular CV for business purposes should definitely not go over one A4 page. If you intend to use it for academic purposes and not for a job, the CV can pass that limit, on the condition that you use the extra space to describe academic activities, like conferences, publications list, etc. A well-written CV shows first what is most important, but contains all relevant information. To this goal, we advise you to adapt it to your target (specific type of job or scholarship). Cut information from your CV only as a solution of last resort, but pay attention to the order in which you present it in your CV.
