HECAS & others

Hello SMSAnians...

Time flies and today marks the end of school holidays...:(

I've just received notice regarding HECAS so to all former SMSA Pre0U students listen up!

Firstly, UCAS applications through SMSA is officially closed because personally, for those applying for govt scholarships, there is no way UK universities have any more places for you if you apply this late. Remember, scholarship requires you to apply to top 20 - 50 universities. Unless you have a valid reason and tell me personally why you're applying late then I will consider processing your UCAs applications. 

Next, those who are applying for scholarships *including DANA, MOE and BSP please make sure you've already taken the scholarship forms from SMSA careers office personally (at the moment, most of you have taken them). If you haven't please do so by next week as I won't be giving them out again when HECAS opens. Also, please return the forms back to me so I can write your references and get the principal's approval. Again, deadline is next week and latest is HECAS's deadline.

Finally, HECAS will be open for registration on Wednesday, 27th March 2013. You can go to: http://www.hecas.edu.bn/hecasportal/ for more information. But make sure you have enough credit on your DST lines to register and apply for the programmes. The requirements are also there for your reference and are specific so make sure you are qualified to apply for the programmes otherwise you'll be wasting your money. remember HECAS is computerised so if you're not qualified you'll be rejected immediately and you can only apply once. 

** To BSP scholars, you also need to apply to HECAS because it is also considered as MOE scholarship.

If you have no internet connection at home or unable to get any internet, you are welcome to apply for HECAS at SMSA Careers office but please make an appointment cos there may be others who are using the computer.

One more thing, after you've successfully applied to HECAS, please submit 1 hard copy of your HECAS application to SMSA careers for our reference. For more information, you can attend HECAS open days:

Dates: 27th and 28th March 2013

Venue: Dewan Muhibbah Airport Lama, BSB

I hope that's enough information for everyone so please prepare everything as soon as possible and don't wait til its the deadline to do so.

Cheers!
