Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key term here is « admission letter »: this scholarship is not handled like a purely financial application, because admission to a Malaysian university is part of the entry gate. The right move is to secure a place first in an eligible institution, then support the file with IELTS or TOEFL, or with an official letter proving that English was the language of instruction. If you are aiming for a research master's or a doctorate, the research proposal must be written as a selection tool, not as a simple academic summary. Since the call is closed, prepare these long-lead documents now and keep a ready version for the next cycle.
