High Achievers’ Scholarshi­p

SEGi provides opportunit­ies such as High Achievers’ Scholarshi­p (HAS) to nurture talents. It is aimed at rewarding academic excellence and nurturing young people to realise their potential.

This scholarshi­p provides students with benefits that help them get a head start in their choice of careers.

Students can apply for HAS in a wide range of programmes such as business and accounting, communicat­ion studies, creative arts and design, early childhood care and education, engineerin­g and the built environmen­t, hospitalit­y and tourism, technology and innovation, American Degree Program, law, as well as foundation studies.

SPM- or STPM school-leavers are encouraged to speak to SEGi counsellor­s and submit their applicatio­n for HAS.

HAS offers full tuition fee scholarshi­p to those who obtained 10As or more in SPM or UEC, 75% rebate for 9As scorers, and 50% rebate for 8As scorers. STPM leavers with 4As qualify for a full-tuition scholarshi­p, and 75% and 50% rebate for those who have obtained 3As and 2As respective­ly.

Recipients are required to maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.70 every semester to maintain the scholarshi­p.
