Syukur Alhamdulillah...
"Congratulations. We are delighted to inform you that you have been selected to receive a Dean's Award from Sheffield University Management School."
Another good news. Syukur Alhamdulillah.
Initially, I received an offer to do MBA at University of Edinburgh, Birmingham and Sheffield.
From University of Birmingham, I got Women's Scholarship but decided not to take it. Then, later, unexpectedly I received a scholarship from University of Sheffield pulak.
Final decision is to go to Sheffield with final amount payable to the university - yang lowest antara tiga-tiga ni. Usaha nak dapatkan scholarship from local, international, corporate etc dah bermacam-macam cara di cuba. Segala website dah di browse through, so please do not ask me why I didn't take up those scholarships. Dah, cuma Allah SWT's plan is the best. This one, takde bond and I'm very proud and grateful sebab compete dgn classmates from all over the world and I got it. And also, with the fact that universities in the UK memang jarang la yang kasi 100% scholarship, I am very thankful and grateful for this.
"The Dean’s Awards are presented to exceptional MBA candidates who embody the core themes behind Sheffield’s unique offer: entrepreneurship, leadership and consultancy.
Professor David Oglethorpe, Dean of the Management School, has ten scholarships to grant to those starting on our full-time MBA programme in September 2016. Successful candidates will demonstrate the potential to stand out as a leader in entrepreneurship, leadership or consultancy and should demonstrate this throughout the application process.
The awarding panel will meet regularly to allocate awards, so prompt application is recommended. Awards are designated for overseas candidates as a 40% reduction in tuition fee (£8,500 each) and for UK/EU applicants as a 50% reduction in tuition fee (£10,625 each)."
InsyaaAllah it will be a smooth journey. Alhamdulillah. Thanks for the doa from lovely familia specially from Mama, Papa, Mak and Mr P. Doa 4 orang ni sangat sangat sangat powerful. Alhamdulillah that I'm blessed with these great people in my life.So, all in all, kena usaha dan usaha je utk cari scholarship/sponsorship. Kalau dpt full yang nak tanggung living allowances, fees etc drpd agensi-agensi kerajaan, KPT, swasta, etc, lebih baik lah. Tetapi, drpd takde pape, at least ada la jugak kan? Final tuition fee, with scholarship - sama la mcm belajar kat private college di Malaysia. InsyaaAllah, bukan hanya qualification yang dikejar, tetapi juga pengalaman for us and the kids. Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan kami.
