Postgrad Scholarship To Oxford?

Congratulations to Jasmine from Malacca, who was successful in securing a place to pursue her PhD in University of Oxford in molecular genetics for October 2007/08 intake. She is currently working as a research assistant in one of the local public universities.

She wrote to me with regards to the types of sponsorship and scholarships available in Malaysia at the moment, which she may qualify for. At this point of time, I'm only specifically aware of the supposed RM1.2billion university PhD funding programmes as blogged here a while back.

If there's anyone else with knowledge of other sources of funding available, please don't hesitate to let her know here, or alternatively, email me. Officials from the Ministry of Higher Education are welcome to contact me as well if there are scholarship opportunities for Jasmine, in line with the Minister's statement that postgraduate scholarships are now only available to successful applicants to top overseas universities.
