Why Apply Now?
The Sarawak Government is paying for your degree. Are you going to let that pass?
FTES, or the Sarawak Government's Free Tertiary Education Scheme, covers full undergraduate degree tuition fees for eligible Sarawakian students to study at Swinburne Sarawak. If you have a 'K' in your IC, or if one of your parents has a 'K' in their IC, and you meet Swinburne's academic entry requirements, you qualify. No bond. No repayment required.
Starting with Foundation or Diploma? Financial aid is still available. Yayasan Sarawak offers bursaries and study loans for eligible Sarawakian students. Swinburne Sarawak's internal scholarships are open to students at all study levels, and the BP40 Bursary Scheme brings your fees down to that of an IPTA.
The Application Week from 8 to 10 June is your chance to apply and accept on the spot, speak to academics, and walk away knowing your future is in motion. Your move. Now.
