Q1. Can I still apply for the PTPTN loan if I have already commenced the course or I am half way through my course?

Yes, you may still put in an application for the loan with the condition that you still have 1 semester remaining to complete the course within the stated course duration. Please refer here for more information on the eligibility for PTPTN loan application.

Q2. I am in my second semester and wish to apply for PTPTN education financing. Can I obtain financing from the first semester?

No. The duration of financing is based on the semester of application. If the application is made in the second semester, financing will be approved from the second semester onwards until completion of study.

Q3. If I am already a recipient of the loan and would like to change course, am I still eligible to continue with the loan?

You are not encouraged to change your course after your loan has been approved by PTPTN. However, you may appeal to PTPTN to continue the existing loan, provided your change of course application has been approved by the University and that you are not repeating any of your semesters.

PTPTN Change of Course Process:

Submit the following documents via email to the Scholarship and Study Loans Office at mum.scholarship@monash.edu to request for a confirmation letter that you’re not repeating any semester:

  • Internal Course Transfer Letter
  • Previous Course Offer Letter
  • Approved course map

After you’ve been issued with the confirmation letter, you must submit the documents to PTPTN through MyPTPTN (Rayuan). PTPTN will then advise you on the next course of action.

Q4. If I am a recipient of a scholarship from Monash University Malaysia, can I still apply for PTPTN loan?

Yes, you can still apply for PTPTN loan, as long as the scholarship received does not cover the full tuition fees of your course.
