Scholarships for Malaysians to Study in Australia

For many students, the key to furthering their studies takes shape in the form of scholarships. In recent times however, these invaluable commodities seemed to be barricaded behind a metal door, becoming increasingly difficult to come by. Scholarships to study overseas however, are a different story altogether, with demand perhaps rivalling that of Bitcoin back in its heyday. Even large scholarship offering corporations have begun to distance themselves from this expensive sponsorship. While this may seem true on the surface of things, delving a little deeper and searching a little wider will yield you results that may shock you – in a good way! In this article, we’ll cover scholarships that are for students to study in Australia. Note: If scholarships is currently closed, expect it to open during the same period next year
