Our PM Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has announced that the National Higher Education Fund Corp (PTPTN) borrowers who graduated with first class honours from 2019 onwards are not required to repay their study loan.
A lot of netizen done their submission but still pending for feedback from PTPTN. But, this netizen is quite lucky! She submitted her application and the good news came 2 months later. She was given the loan waiver! And she took social media to share how to apply for PTPTN Waiver with 8 frequently asked question, and probably it’s your question too!

Finally, I got it! Applying for PTPTN Waiver is not as hard as i think.
I done the submission on end May and knew the result of my application end July. I’m considered lucky as it only took me 2 months. I do have friends that applied for it but no news yet.

The frequently asked question ( FAQ)：
Q ① ：The documents need to be sign/ stamp verified?
A ① ：Different people telling me different story. But for me, i’m not working. So i have lesser documents to submit. Moreover my transcripts are all verified. So, i just submitted online.
