MIRI: The Sarawak state government is drawing up a more comprehensive scholarship scheme to enable poor students from the native communities who want to study at Curtin University Sarawak campus in Miri to secure faster financial aid to start their foundation courses.

Under the plan, the state would give special flexibility for scholarship to those native students whose family couldn’t afford to pay for their studies so that these students could begin their foundation stint at Curtin Sarawak without having to undergo problems securing financial aid on their own, said Curtin Sarawak council chairman Tan Sri Dr George Chan.
