PSA Scholarship

dragg SG

PSA sued a student for the return of scholarship fee totalling $53.5k. he has to pay a few thousand dollars of legal fees too.

the man finished with an honours degree but it just wasnt enough.

this was because he failed a few examinations and had to retake to pass.

Mr Fugue SG

I mentioned about the danger of signing bonds a long time ago liaoz…........

Mr Fugue SG

if you fail for the 1st time, they give you ''counseling'' (which is actually to warn you.)

so, dun think scholarship very prestige~!!

FireIce SG

Mr Fugue SG

dragg SG

i dont understand what they are trying to prove?

even though he did fail some of the examinations but he did finish with an honours degree. what did PSA get out of suing him? just to get back the course fees?

stellazio SG

the person also never study properly..when on scholarship of course they expect u to do your best ma.. Laughing

Mr Fugue SG

they wanted the 1st grade, not 2nd or 3rd grade one~!!

S2K4 SG

thousandisland SG

anyone here knows whether corporate specifically bank scholarships… overseas ones, what kinda scholars they looking for?

798 SG

his performance is really questionable. no doubt uni load is stress, but bao 2 modules in 2nd year and another in 3rd year really questionable. Rolling Eyes

i think he involved too much cca liao.

there is no such thing as free lunch. that's why i dun like to be controlled by bond.

nightzip SG

no lah, it all depends on the contract's terms and conditions...

some require you to get 2nd upp and above with no failing, some dun need these requirements.

So, anyone know the exact terms and conditions of PSA sholarship?
cuz if the PSA scholarship does not write explicitly that he have to have all passes in all modules (without retake), actually PSA IS IN THE WRONG. Can COUNTERSUE them. Very Happy

sbst275 SG

In the 1st place, you are slave to the ones that gave you the scholarship

nightzip SG

nono, if its not in the terms and conditions when you sign the bond/sholarship, you can counter them. Very Happy

dragg SG

you think PSA is stupid.

stellazio SG

yeap and its not like they expect him to get straight As or anything.. Laughing

sbst275 SG

No matter what, you can't win those to those that gave the scholarship...

Anyway many of these scholars behave diff

dakkon_blackblade SG

He took a scholarship, and it’s only natural for the organisation which gave him the scholarship to expect decent performance from him. Failing three subjects is not decent performance, even though he retook and passed those subjects subsequently.
