Question 1

How to qualify and get a scholarship in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

- **Academic threshold**: typically from 1A onwards for STPM/A-Level or 5As onwards for SPM/IGCSE. [University-sponsored scholarships](https://unienrol.com/scholarships/malaysia/all) have much lower requirements for fee waivers.
- **Non-academic achievements**: demonstrate talent, leadership or active involvement in co-curricular endeavours like being a state sports player or president of a student organisation.
- **Disadvantaged background**:  Deserving students from specific household income level (B40/M40), with single parent, or with disabilities.
