How to Exempt PTPTN Loan / Convert It to Scholarship

As you all probably know, undergraduate with "First Class Honours" is not required to pay PTPTN loan and can convert it as scholarship. If undergraduates who hope to exempt PTPTN loan, one simple thing can do is do your role as students and get first class at the end of the Undergraduate Degree Journey.

All latest information about this exemption scheme can be found in PTPTN official website. Basically, all we need to do is to prove a official letter, a verified copy of the degree certificate, and a verified copy of transcript. But for those from private university, a verified copy of program accreditation is required; and for those the degree certificate does not mention about "First Class Honours ", a verification letter is required to prove the certificate is equivalent to "First Class Honours" status.



After all documents mentioned above are prepared, applicants can send them to the address as shown below:

Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional

Lot G2, Tingkat Bawah

Wisma Chase Perdana Off Jalan Semantan

Damansara Heights 50490 Kuala Lumpur

(u.p: Cik Noorzila Bt Yaacob

Note: This scheme only for the successful loan applicants before 01 July 2005 / the loan applicants who are going to finish their undergraduate degree after January 2010.

A Malay Version, which can found from PTPTN official forum, of this procedure is shown below:

"Untuk makluman, pengecualian bayaran balik pinjaman hanya akan dipertimbangkan kepada peminjam yang mendapat Ijazah Sarjana Muda Kelas Pertama sahaja ( Kelulusan pinjaman sebelum 01 Julai 2005 / tamat pengajian bermula Januari 2010). Sekiranya CGPA yang diperolehi peminjam dikategorikan oleh IPT kelas pertama maka peminjam layak untuk dipertimbangkan pengecualian bayaran balik pinjaman.


Peminjam boleh menghantar permohonan dengan menyertakan pekara berikut :
1. Surat rasmi permohonan pengecualian bayaran balik.
2. Salinan ijazah yang disahkan benar oleh pendaftar/penolong pendaftar bahagian akademik universiti sahaja.
3. Salinan transkrip yang disahkan benar oleh pendaftar/penolong pendaftar bahagian akademik universiti sahaja.
----------------------------------------------------------
4. Surat pengesahan keputusan setaraf kelas pertama jika tiada perkataan kelas pertama tertulis pada ijazah.
5. Salinan sijil akreditasi dari Lembaga Akreditasi Negara bagi pelajar dibawah institusi pengajian tinggi swasta.


Kegagalan peminjam untuk memenuhi kesemua kriteria di atas , permohonan tidak akan diproses.


Permohonan peminjam boleh dihantar ke alamat berikut :

Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional
Lot G2, Tingkat Bawah
Wisma Chase Perdana Off Jalan Semantan
Damansara Heights 50490 Kuala Lumpur
(u.p: Cik Noorzila Bt Yaacob)" (Source: PTPTN Forum)

List of Scholarship for Malaysian students to Pursue Full-Time Degree Programmes

At the time I was in University, I had no idea how to find a scholarship until I was graduated now... Although there were a lot of website stated about scholarship, how could you trust them when they never ever give you an official address or website related the scholarship? Therefore, I hope those early birds and taking initiative will finally gain their own "worm".

Indeed, nobody can stop you to pursue your higher education ambition except you give up yourself. Here you are. Abundant of financial supports from our social and community can help you achieve your dream. Read them carefully, and share them with who is needy.

Scholarship, Sponsorship, Education loan, in Malaysia

Today, I received an email from my friend regarding scholarship in Malaysia. I have decided to put them (after some analysis) in my blog and hope this can help for needy students.

As a rule of thumb, please read carefully all the terms and conditions of scholarship after apply it. This is because you need to decide whether accept or reject when you have received the scholarship offer. But if you put much time to read them first, you may not be able to submit it before its due date.

Personally, I prefer scholarship without bond. If not, I will rather education loan. Nevertheless, it's up to you.
