BushBaby 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2007 Can anyone tell me how to go about education loans? I have no idea bout it at all..My aunts cant support me to do my degree, locally or going overseas, n so i can only choose to go work n save up money or get a loan.. I really wanna tryout studying somewhere else, since its like a once in a lifetime thingy.. but then since the cert is the same n i dont have the cash, might as well do it here..

weN 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) There are various types of loans available. There is a government loan that is available for students who completes their studies locally. It is PTPTN. The link will direct you to the requirements page to ask for a loan. Also, there are always private loans from different banks. For the best rates, I suggest you check out the banks and compare the rates. Good luck! Edited January 11, 2007 by weN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

min1004 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 ptptn loan isnt too hard to apply for actually. But depends on whether your course is accredated by the LAN i think. I study in a private uni and half way through i applied for my loan. It only took them maybe a month or less to approve, but it depends on their season as well i think(since they have a deadline for application period). My brothers are on ptptn loans too and it the application isnt much of a hassle either. The amount they choose to loan u depends on ur family financial background though. So some might not get a 100% loan. Anyways good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weN 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 BushBaby, you're more than welcome. And yes, bank loans definitely have a higher rate compared to PTPTN. I suggest you check out the course that you want to pursue and find out from the college if the course is accredited by LAN in order to get a loan from PTPTN.

As in subjects like Malaysian studies n moral studies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weN 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 No, not subjects like M'sian studies and Moral studies but the entire course. If the course is not accredited by LAN, your degree is pretty much useless. Each course offered by colleges should be recognized by LAN, Lembaga Akreditasi Negara. They set certain requirements that your course has to meet. For instance your coursework has to involve A,B, and C. Otherwise, any college can offer programs and say their program is as good as the one's abroad. Hope that helps.

douglas 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 PTPTN is a good option but nowadays a lot of major groups of companies will offer study loan with the condition tat u'll be bound by the company after graduates. just make sure u got all document readily photostated and certifite true copy and fill in the form correctly then u should be able to get the loan, there's a maximum limit of wat u can get depend whether u r in a private or local uni/college. hell of a long wait but better than nothing. i waited for a year before i can get the money.LAN acreditation can always find whether ur college n current course is listed in the LAN website. they might change from time to time but as long as u got the course code to fill in the form then u hav no worries bout it.
