I got 8 As in my 2015 SPM, any scholarship available for taking music foundation course in ICOM and further studies to Berklee college of music, Boston, USA?
Hi @Lianyoke11, well done for such impressive SPM result!
There are actually lots of scholarships available for you to apply, but you better be quick as many prestigious scholarships are closing real soon. Please check the following website frequently for new scholarship openings.
50+ Scholarships for SPM and STPM Result Holders
Please check the terms and conditions of each scholarship to determine if it is suitable for your specific course at International College of Music (ICOM) - Kuala Lumpur. For example, Maybank Sponsorship Award (No Bond) will be one of the scholarship available for you as per the following details:
Field of Studies: All courses
Full education financial assistance from Pre-University/ Foundation studies up to degree level at local institution (tuition fees, laptop, accommodation, and living allowance)
Source: Maybank Foundation Scholarship Award
Other than checking those 50+ scholarships, you should also check ICOM website since it most likely will offer scholarship to students with great SPM result like you.
Update: unfortunately ICOM does not offer scholarship
Do you offer tuition scholarships?
No, there are no tuition scholarships available at the present time, due to the heavily subsidized tuition fee by the Board of Governors. However, there is a range of financial aid options, which include the national higher education student loan (PTPTN), EPF withdrawal, etc., to help you realize your education goals. If you are an international student, you may apply for financial aid in your country either through government agencies, private companies, houses of faith and/or arts foundations.
Thank You for your prompt reply.
@Lianyoke11, just a quick check I see that the following scholarships are suitable for you to apply. Of course, there are more than these so you better check each scholarship one by one. All the best!

Would you consider doing the foundation course in other college/university? If yes then you can apply Foundation in Music leading to B.Mus. (Hons) Classical / Contemporary UCSI University through The Star Education Fund scholarship.
