MESSAGE
As the new Director of the Science
Education Institute (SEI), I would like to
congratulate all scholars who successfully made
their way to the Science and Technology
Undergraduate Scholarship Programs.
As the Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu said:
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a
single step. To our dear scholars, this may just be
a start of a long extensive journey towards a
successful career in S&T, but I am confident that
you can get to where you are destined to go.
Always put in mind that this scholarship grant is
your stepping stone towards your ultimate goal
and eventually to your success. Know that you
have abundant potentials within you and you just have to bring it to fruition.
Inevitably, obstacles might come along your way but with firm determination
and faith in God and self, you will overcome those. You can conquer the
hardships and challenges if you stay focused on your desired destination. It
takes one small step at a time to succeed.
We, at SEI, are very proud of you and we would be right behind you
to support your endeavours. May you find this S&T Scholars Handbook
useful. It was prepared to guide you and keep you on track, until you become
a successful S&T graduate. We know that with this small step you take as
you join the S&T community, your star will shine brightly in the near future,
and guide our country towards economic stability and national development
through your S&T contributions.
We wish you the best!

yourself.
Have a goal. Aim for the highest that you can attain.
Give your best effort. You belong to the top 5% of the youth in

talent is there, nurture and enhance it and you can only be
heading for success!
