In addition, other programmes that will continue are:
- MyBrain15
- Academic Training Scheme for Bumiputera (SLAB)
- Academic Training Scheme of Public Higher Education Institutions (SLAI)
- National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) – RM5bil is allocated for undergraduate study loans
Although the government has reintroduced these four JPA scholarships programmes, competition will be stiff as the number of awards for each programme has been reduced. Also, many other scholarship programmes have been put on hold.
Updates on these scholarships can be found on JPA's website http://www.jpa.gov.my while online applications must be made at http://esilav2.jpa.gov.my/
