US Scholarship Talk

Nic — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 09:18:36 +0000

If you want to know how to get a scholarship to study in the USA, or want to know what the criteria and requirements are for US Ivy League universities, then you must not miss the US Applications Workshop organised by Mensa member, Mr Yeoh Chen Chow. Mensa Penang organised a talk with Chen Chow a few years ago and it was so well-received! The room was standing space only when we organised the talk in 2006 and 2007.

He’s back again and he will be in Penang.

He and his team will be in Penang to share with you all the things you need to know before you apply for any US university.

Don’t miss this! It’s on 26th June, 2pm-6pm at Penang’s INTI International College. And it’s FREE!

More details at their blog. They will be at a few other venues in Malaysia so catch them if you can. Go over and reserve your seat at their blog because it will be packed.
