JPA IPTA

I can't answer this questions for so many time ( as different juniors are asking the same question ) so I post it on the blog. I am a JPA IPTA scholarship holder and I would like to share this info as this scholarship is still new to all of the Malaysia students. If not mistaken, this scholarship has been introduced since my batch, 2008 SPM students.

At that time, I mean the time the results came out, there are different status the students can get, it's either Berjaya, Berjaya IPTS or Berjaya IPTA. My status was Berjaya IPTA, they gave me the offer to study in either matriculation or asasi ( but I was in Matric so definitely, I gonna stay ). For those already in matriculation programme, you gonna stay in your matric college to finish your programme, only can enter local university, we won't be offered to study Asasi, which is considered as foundation.

In terms of allowance, we are getting the same allowance as those matric students who don't get that scholarship, the only difference is that your money is given by JPA not Matriculation. So, in other words, you are only officially considered as JPA scholarship holder after entering university.

The only advantage we gain is that you need not to sail through second interview to get the scholarship when you are in university. Once you get the offer of the course you wanna study in university, you have to inform your counsellors or JPA people in charge.

If you still have any questions, you may ask when the JPA people come to your college. I think the JPA will arrange some officers to come to give some briefing as my batch did have it. So, don't be so worried, just focus on your study. And for those who didn't get this offer, don't be frustrated, you can apply it after entering university.
In short, just focus on study and enjoy your life in the college. =)
