MCMC conducts a thorough and rigorous selection process to choose scholarship recipients. Shortlisted candidates will be required to take a psychometric assessment and attend an interview session, as determined by MCMC.

No, the scholarship is available only to full-time students.

You are expected to perform at the highest level throughout the duration of your study. Scholars must satisfy all course works, examinations and/or dissertation requirements, as well as maintain a CGPA of 3.50 or Second Class Upper every semester.

Candidates who are currently bonded with other scholarship providers are not eligible to apply.

Nevertheless, candidates must terminate their current financial aid upon accepting a scholarship or bursary from MCMC.
