KL lass first M’sian to win UTS scholarship


Summer: Being an all-rounder is important to build a solid and future-proof foundation in terms of one’s character, skillset and knowledge.

DETERMINED to win a scholarship to pursue her master’s studies abroad where she hoped to further broaden her horizons, Ong Sze Ning – or Summer as she is fondly known among her family and friends – devoted five months to doing research, writing personal statements and compiling supporting documents, among others, before submitting her applications. “It was a roller coaster of emotions.

There were stressful days where others doubted my capabilities, the paperwork piled up, and I was constantly thinking that my work was not good enough,” the 23-year-old told StarEdu.
