Full scholarships that covers 100% of tuition fees are very limited and competitive in nature. Therefore, the students, who are ultimately shortlisted to be scholarship recipients are generally high achievers e.g.:
Outstanding academic track record e.g. for many overseas scholarships for Malaysians, you need at least 7 A+/A in SPM to be eligible
Excellent non-academic achievements e.g. awards in sports or competitions, and leadership roles in extracurricular activities
Good communication skills and leadership qualities as per demonstrated during interviews and assessments
Alternatively, there are other financing options that you may consider to fully fund your studies like:
