Burapha University’s Commitment to Supporting Cambodia through Royal Scholarship under Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Education Project to the Kingdom of Cambodia

          Burapha University has participated in the Royal Scholarship under Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s Education Project for the Kingdom of Cambodia, established by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, with immense royal generosity in granting scholarships to develop the personnel and vocational students of Cambodia. These scholarships are provided under two main programs:

          1) The Personnel Development Program aligns with the development plans of Kampong Chheuteal Institute of Technology and Kampong Speu Institute of Technology.

          2) The Vocational Student Development Program selects high-achieving students who intend to become teachers at the institutes, further their studies in various professional fields in Thailand, and return to serve as staff members of their respective institutions in the future.

          These royal scholarships are fully funded and cover the entire educational journey from secondary education through bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Cambodian students receiving these scholarships are currently studying in various faculties at Burapha University, such as the Faculty of Education, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering, and Piboonbumpen Demonstration School.

          These scholarship recipients are considered the intellectual foundation and a vital driving force behind Cambodia’s development. Burapha University is committed to supporting and contributing to sustainable education for its neighbouring country, a commitment that has been maintained for over five years.
