THE Star Education Fund is back for the 30th consecutive year, and this time, 171 scholarships worth close to RM10.6mil from 23 institutions are available for applications.

Star Education Fund manager Susanna Kuan said while good grades are important, students need not be straight-A scorers to secure a scholarship.
