How to Exempt PTPTN Loan / Convert It to Scholarship

99 comments
As you all probably know, undergraduate with "First Class Honours" is not required to pay PTPTN loan and can convert it as scholarship. If undergraduates who hope to exempt PTPTN loan, one simple thing can do is do your role as students and get first class at the end of the Undergraduate Degree Journey.

All latest information about this exemption scheme can be found in PTPTN official website. Basically, all we need to do is to prove a official letter, a verified copy of the degree certificate, and a verified copy of transcript. But for those from private university, a verified copy of program accreditation is required; and for those the degree certificate does not mention about "First Class Honours ", a verification letter is required to prove the certificate is equivalent to "First Class Honours" status.

"Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal, there is no human relation between master and slave." ~ Leo Tolstoy

Paul Grignon demonstrates how to create money by recycling mortgage and loan in this video. First of all, "The Goldsmith's tale" is shown to explain the history of how and the money come from. Few important perspectives are described such as "No Debt, No Money", "Loans and Deposit", "Bank create money from nothing", "Inflation" etc. Some suggestions about this phenomena can also be found in this video. Finally, I hope you will enjoy it.
