Sunway College A-level Student Never Gives Up

Applying for a scholarship is not a stroll in a park. Tommy Hoo Yi Vae, Sunway College’s A-level alumnus has much to tell of continuing his studies at University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He has been offered a place in a 4-year bachelor and master degree in Economics and Statistics with a full scholarship covering his tuition fee, living expenses and a round-trip airfare.

Tommy, who scored 3As in Economics, Mathematics, Physics and 1B in Further Mathematics in the November 2013 Cambridge A-level Examinations, is a fighter against all odds. He applied for more than 10 scholarships, attended over 20 interviews and group assessments, and received plenty of rejections from his various scholarship applications. “One should never give up. I believe all those rejections helped prepare me for this scholarship,” said Tommy.
