BSP Scholarship Scheme 2013

Good evening all..

I’ve personally received the advert for Brunei Schell Scholarship Scheme today who has requested for me to provide them with details of qualified students from SMSA to apply for this particular scholarship. Some of you may already have given me your details but I also need your GCE O level results. So to those of you who are definitely applying for BSP then please email me your O level results ASAP.

If you have any doubts regarding the scholarship, please ask me directly.

P/S: to potential BDP scholars, you MUST prepare all documents for the scholarship and please register at their website. All of your certs should be scanned and submitted online along with your application. I will notify you should there be a briefing with regards to the scheme. Don’t forget to collect SCHOLARSHIP application forms from me personally.

ALL THE BEST!!

UCAS application

Good morning all..

Firstly, I just wanted to make it very clear to those students who went to UK exhibition organised by HRD last week and 'received' offers from certain universities without applying to UCAS first and then requesting for a reference from us...

Please make it clear whether you are applying for a scholarship or a private student first because we don't just give out references without proper reasons. So even is you have an offer from a university you still need to apply to UCAS through SMSA first otherwise I will not give out your reference. 

To students who have just started to apply to UCAS, please do so immediately as I will be setting a deadline. All the process to apply to UCAS should be in this blog or you can just see any of us in the Careers office. 

UCAS deadline: Friday, 15th March 2013

For any queries regarding UCAS, please ask us: smsacareers@hotmail.com

Cheers!
