They may however, receive supplementary support from other sources to cover living expenses.

Successful applicants must look for a guarantor/surety to sign the agreement as a guarantee that the applicant will fulfil the terms and conditions of the agreement.  The latest 3 months’ salary slip of the guarantor/surety must be submitted when the agreement is signed together with a copy of his/her MyKad or IC (front and back).
