CSIRO Undergraduate Vacation Scholarships

The CSIRO ICT Centre is working to establish Australia as a global ICT
innovator by delivering leading-edge Information and Communication
Technology solutions for industry and society. The Centre has over 250
researchers across Australia working in four capability-based
laboratories and two applications laboratories in four locations,
Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Hobart:

* Autonomous System
* Networking Technologies
* Wireless Technologies
* Information Engineering
* e-Health Research Centre
* Tasmanian ICT Centre

The 2008 Vacation Scholarship Program is designed to provide students
with the opportunity to work on real-world problems in a leading R&D
organisation. Participation in the Vacation Scholarship Program has
influenced previous scholarship holders in their choice of further study
and future career options. Many have gone on to pursue a PhD in CSIRO or
to build a successful research career within CSIRO, a University or
industry.

The scholarships are open to students who have completed at least 3
years of Undergraduate study and who have maintained a credit average or
higher. The students will be paid a stipend of $550 per week.
Scholarships are to commence early December 2008 and continue for a
period of 8-12 weeks. Each student will undertake a research project
under the supervision of a research scientist or engineer. Presentation
skills training is provided as well as an opportunity to participate in
an end of scholarship conference with other students and CSIRO research
scientists.

Sheffield Hallam University Undergraduate/Postgraduate Scholarships

Q: My course has this programme where we need to continue in UK (SHU) to get our degree cert. But I'm not financially capable. Any suggestions what to do?

A:
Scholarships offered by the university for international students (mainly Malaysians) includes:
Info from : http://www.shu.ac.uk/international/courses/scholarships.html
International Achievement Scholarship
- Minimum of £1,000
Scholarship applications for courses starting in September/October 2008 must be submitted by 30 June 2008. Applications for scholarships for courses starting in January/February 2009 must be submitted by 30 November 2008.
Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme (CSSS)
-covers tuition fees and living costs for the duration of a Masters course

So for undergraduates, International Achievement Scholarship is the only option. Unfortunately, I'm not very sure whether a student from twinning programme is eligible. It doesn't hurt to apply for it though.

External scholarships info given on the website:
British Council Education UK
International Education Financial Aid (IEFA)
There's this International student loan : https://server.internationalstudentnetwork.com/ISTL/index.php
which looks interesting but only applies to US residents. =(

===================================

I checked the twinning program, and found this:
"We have a number of courses for holders of certain TAR College diplomas and Advanced Diplomas, including the successful Summer Semester, Two Year Progression Degrees and Continuation Masters Degrees. These courses are offered at special discounts, available only to students of TAR College. "
source: http://www.shu.ac.uk/tarc/
I wonder how much of discount do they mean by that - (£2136 - £2233?)

There's a scholarship offered for the twinning programme:
Hallam Special Achievement Scholarship
"To apply, please download an application form. All applications must be in by 27 June, 2008. After this date, the applications will be judged and the scholarship presented. The panel's decision will be final!"
- However, it's only £300 each.

===================================

So it seemed like it's not easy to get either TAR college or Sheffield Hallam University to offer a scholarship for the twinning program. I would recommend apply for the ones mentioned, and look at scholarships/loan offered by local organisations.

and the scholarship listed in http://scholarships4postgrads.blogspot.com/search/label/undergraduate
and
http://education-scholarships.blogspot.com/

During my undergraduate years, I have received loan of RM4000 a year (if you study in overseas university I think it's RM10k a year), from a local organisation. Can't remember is it DongZhong or TeoChew Association. (I've cleared off the loan so I don't have to remember lol). If I found anything else I'll let you know!
