What I've been through was like a massive water ripple effect. Everything, emotionally for instant has been tarnished.
It all started last year. I really wanted to finish my study and decided to take Master of Architecture. Unlike other courses, we are studio-based and technical course need to prepare extra documentation. I was so determined and put my best preparing portfolio, resume, personal statement and university application.
I managed to get 3 offer letters, unconditional from University of Liverpool and Lincoln University and conditional offer from Liverpool John Moores University.
All of that is worthless now as I don't get any sponsorship to pursue my study. Frankly, I can't accept the result at first. I was crying like a baby. That night I have been thinking over and over again that maybe this is a sign from Allah. Maybe I have done something wrong. Teruskan bersangka baik. Allah has planned everything and it all written in Luhz Mahfuz way long time ago.
Then, little by little I realized that this is a lesson and I shall learn from mistakes. Thus, I shall note it down here as my future reference as well as to help others who intend to pursue study abroad.
There are MORE sponsorship agencies other than MARA.
I just know about them. It was silly decision to apply to only one, just MARA. Once I got rejected by MARA, then I try to look for alternative sponsorship. It was too late as all applications are already closed. Tons of sponsorship out there, either it is a loan or scholarship.
In short, here is a quite thorough List of Malaysia Sponsorship Agencies that can be found at Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia.
For instant:
- Chevening Sponsorship (open : 1 August 2014 )
- Commonwealth (open : August 2014 )
- Yayasan Daya Diri
- Yayasan Khazanah
- Tenaga Pengajar Muda UiTM / facebook
- Skim Latihan Akademik Bumiputera / SLAB
In short, here is a quite thorough List of Malaysia Sponsorship Agencies that can be found at Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia.
I wish all of you good luck for your future endeavors.
