Scholarships - Local

I think everyone knows I want to do Law, and I want to go to a government uni (UM! hopefully =.=). However, I know some of you want to do other stuff and go other places, so I've included stuff that are relevant - namely Law, Business/Marketing etc, Engineering - to some people I know. Not all of it, though. There are other scholarships here. I've done most of it on this blog for easy viewing and browsing though. But I only included details that I think are relevant la. Refer to the given site for more details. Search newspapers also la. Malas betul! Tsk! (Public: Who says I didn't search!)
