Should Income be considered for JPA Scholarships
By admin on May 4, 2008 in Scholarship, Student Talk, Featured
There has been a lot of talks on whether income should be taken into account for JPA Scholarships to study abroad. Today, family income below Rm5k would give the students 10 points, between RM5k and RM10k, would be 5 points and more than RM10k would be 0 point.
Some of the richer ones are arguing that this might be unfairly penalizing on them, whereas some others are saying that this is fair.
Chen Chow, who is currently working as Product Specialist at JobStreet.com penned down his thought about the issue. Find out more at his blog.
