Whether you have completed the SPM or you are still studying in secondary school, you must have heard of the JPA Scholarship which is scholarship provided by the government. I am sure you want to get more information about these scholarships. Here, I am going to explain in detail about the JPA Scholarship.


After you complete your SPM, you have to study a pre-university programme before you can study a degree course in any university, whether local or overseas. There are many pre-university programmes available in Malaysia, such as STPM, A Level, Matriculation, IB, CPU, SAM, Foundation and others. It is not possible to get into any degree course directly after SPM. While some students go straight into universities after SPM, they still have to study a pre-university programme such as Foundation at that university before they can start their degree course. For more information about each pre-university programme to help you make a choice, go to here:
http://daniellimjj.blogspot.com/2013/01/after-spm-plans-to-be-continued.html

There are many different types of the JPA scholarship, which includes Program Penajaan 9A+ (P9A+ / PC9A), Program Bursary (BURS1), Penajaan Lepasan Bursary (BURS), Program Ijazah Dalam Negara (PIDN), Program Penajaan Nasional (PPN), Program Khas Jepun, Korea, Perancis dan Jerman (JKPJ), Program Dermasiswa B40 (DMSW) and Program Khas JPA-MARA (PKJM).
Depending on the type, the JPA scholarship may sponsor for pre-university programmes, degree courses in universities, or both.



(A) Program Penajaan 9A+ (P9A+ / PC9A):

NOTICE: This scholarship replaces the Program Bursary (see part B) which was offered in 2016. 
Unlike the Program Bursary, this scholarship only sponsors for STPM, Matriculation and Foundation programmes but not A Level or IB. Initially, it was planned that only the SPM 2016 students who obtained straight A+ in SPM would be offered this scholarship. Later, the plan is changed so that all SPM 2016 students who obtained 9A+ or above will be offered this scholarship.

This scholarship is for all SPM 2016 students who obtained 9A+ or above in SPM. (Students who are successfully offered and accepted the Program Penajaan Nasional will no longer be offered this scholarship.) It sponsors for local pre-university programmes which only include STPM, Matriculation and Foundation. You can choose the pre-university programme you want to study, as long as you are able to get the offer to study it.


After you have completed the pre-university programme under this scholarship, you will be sponsored for your degree course if you meet the requirements. This scholarship sponsors for degree courses at selected local universities only. It also does not sponsor for twinning or credit transfer programmes with overseas universities. Only degree courses and universities that are in the list for this scholarship are sponsored. You can choose any course and university in the list, as long as you are able to get the offer to study the course at the university.

This scholarship sponsors for the tuition fees of the pre-university programme and degree course in full. You will also be given a monthly allowance. It will not sponsor for your accommodation specifically, instead you are expected to use part of the monthly allowance to pay for the accommodation. This scholarship will start sponsoring when you begin the pre-university programme and this will continue until you complete the degree course. 
It is guaranteed that every student who meets all the requirements will be offered this scholarship. There is no selection process for this scholarship, so you do not need to attend any interviews. If you meet the requirements, you will still need to follow the procedures to register for this scholarship in order to be offered it.

(B) Program Bursary (BURS1):

Not to be confused with Program Lepasan Bursary (see part C).


NOTICE: This scholarship replaced the KPM Bursary which was offered from 2012 to 2015. Unlike the KPM Bursary, this scholarship is provided by JPA instead of the Ministry of Education. Initially, it was planned that only the best 250 among the SPM 2015 students who obtained 9A+ or above in SPM would be offered this scholarship. Later, the plan was changed so that all SPM 2015 students who obtained 9A+ or above would be offered this scholarship. In 2017, this scholarship is replaced by the Program Penajaan 9A+ (see part A).


This scholarship is for all SPM 2015 students who obtained 9A+ or above in SPM. (Students who are successfully offered and accepted the Program Penajaan Nasional will no longer be offered this scholarship.) It sponsors for local pre-university programmes which include A Level, IB, STPM, STAM, Matriculation and Foundation. Only colleges that are in the list for this scholarship are sponsored. You can choose any pre-university programme and college in the list, as long as you are able to get the offer to study the programme at the college.


After you have completed the pre-university programme under this scholarship, you will be sponsored for your degree course if you meet the requirements. This scholarship sponsors for degree courses at selected local universities only. It also does not sponsor for twinning or credit transfer programmes with overseas universities. Only degree courses and universities that are in the list for this scholarship are sponsored. You can choose any course and university in the list, as long as you are able to get the offer to study the course at the university.

This scholarship sponsors for the tuition fees of the pre-university programme and degree course in full. You will also be given a monthly allowance. It will not sponsor for your accommodation specifically, instead you are expected to use part of the monthly allowance to pay for the accommodation. This scholarship will start sponsoring when you begin the pre-university programme in June or July of the year after your SPM and this will continue until you complete the degree course. 
It is guaranteed that every student who meets all the requirements will be offered this scholarship. There is no selection process for this scholarship, so you do not need to attend any interviews. If you meet the requirements, you will still need to follow the procedures to register for this scholarship in order to be offered it.


(For A Level, some colleges offer the option to choose between 18 months programme and 24 months programme. You can choose either one, and this scholarship will sponsor throughout the duration of your A Level programme. Besides, it is possible that you have began your A Level earlier in January before your SPM results is released. In that case, you can choose to either remain in the January intake or switch to the July intake. However, if you choose to remain in the January intake, this scholarship will only start sponsoring from July until you complete your A Level programme, and any tuition fees before July will not be sponsored.)

(For degree courses at some local private universities, you may have applied to them before the final results of your pre-university programme is released using your forecast results, and got a conditional offer from them. The university may require you to pay a deposit before your final results is released, and it is likely that they will not waive the deposit payment until you have completed the registration for this scholarship. However, it is not possible to complete registration for this scholarship if your final results is not yet released. If you are in this situation and you do not want to pay the deposit yourself, you can get a JPA scholarship conditional offer letter (TFA) from JPA. You can get up to 2 TFA for 2 different universities, and you can still switch to other universities after your final results is released if you wish. To get the TFA, you should submit the forecast results of your pre-university programme, the conditional offer letter from your university and a copy of your identity card to JPA through post or by going to the JPA headquarters in Putrajaya. Then, submit the TFA to your university and they will waive the deposit payment. After your final results is released and you get the unconditional offer from your university, you will still need to follow the usual procedures to register for this scholarship.)

(D) Program Ijazah Dalam Negara (PIDN):

NOTICE: Previously before 2012, this scholarship was for students who had completed SPM and it sponsored for pre-university programmes and degree courses at local universities. In 2012, it was announced that this scholarship would only be offered to students who had completed a pre-university programme and were not sponsored by the KPM Bursary and that it would sponsor for degree courses at local public universities and several local private universities, starting from 2014. However in 2014, the plan was changed so for local private universities, this scholarship would only sponsor for those with the status of GLC but not any others. In 2015, there was a further change so this scholarship would primarily be for students who have started studying a degree course rather than students who have just completed a pre-university programme.

This scholarship is for 7000 students who were not sponsored by the KPM Bursary or any other JPA scholarship and are currently studying or have received an unconditional offer to study a degree course at a local university. (Students who were sponsored by the KPM Bursary should register for the Program Lepasan Bursary instead.) This scholarship sponsors for degree courses at selected local universities only.

This scholarship will sponsor for the tuition fees of the degree course in full. You will also be given a monthly allowance, where its amount depends on the course and university you choose. It will not sponsor for your accommodation specifically, instead you are expected to use part of the monthly allowance to pay for the accommodation. If you are offered this scholarship before you start the degree course, it will start sponsoring when you begin the course and this will continue until you complete the degree course. If you are offered this scholarship after you have started the degree course, it will only start sponsoring when you get the offer for the scholarship until you complete the degree course, and any tuition fees before you get the offer for the scholarship will not be sponsored. There is no guarantee that students who meet all the requirements will be offered this scholarship. Students will have to undergo selection process, which may involve attending interviews. Only the best 7000 students among them will be offered this scholarship.
