I'm a fellow?

Today I want to talk about SLAB that stands for Skim Latihan Akademik Bumiputera by KPT (Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi) for academic staff in public universities. I applied this in June 2009 and already called for an interview session by the end of July, if I'm not mistaken. And the result is out! But just a conditional offer stated that I need to take the IELTS examination with a minimum score of band 5.0 for posgraduate studies in local universities. So basically they will only print out the official offer letter if I pass the English test. And I plan to take it this coming Raya holiday -_-"

Okay, this is actually a Fellowship Scheme under the Latihan Tenaga Pengajar Akademik UniMAP, but the money is actually come from the SLAB scholarship like I mention before. Usually, after a person graduated from their studies, they need to work with the university for about 2 years as a lecturer. But some say that now this scheme does not guarantee you to work there. For me, either both is okay as long as the allowance given during my study now is free ;)

So basically, now I'm a fellow and after I obtain my Master, I'm a lecturer! InsyaAllah.

Next, is about the allowance. Not as much as others, but okay la~ Better than nothing right?

Personal Needs Allowance : RM2,000
Elaun Sara Hidup (monthly) : RM900
Study Fee : depends on UTM
Yearly Books Allowance : RM750
Thesis Allowance : RM1,500/3000
Elaun Alat Perkakas : RM 900

That's all! I will update about this from time to time. Hope things will be as planned. Wish me luck ;D

p/s: Suppose I had an interview session for Sime Darby Management Trainee today. But i didn't go. Hehe. Too bad~

L.O.V.E
