Our University Scholarship Programme (USP) provides scholarship support for academically strong students from Myanmar, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Thailand to attend tertiary education in their home country or in Thailand.
With the advantage of higher education, youth have improved skills and knowledge, access to better employment, and the aptitude to serve as future contributors and leaders to the development of their communities and countries.
Since 2006, we have been offering university scholarship places to groups of third-level students. The programmes are typically four years in duration, but this can vary according to the field of study.

- Without people educated at tertiary level, communities are less likely to be able to direct development of their communities as they see fit
- Communities may lack awareness of their level of development due to lack of education
- Community leaders are often unable to solve challenges related to local development because they are unaware of macro-level processes that have local impacts
- There is a shortage of well-educated and experienced leaders across many communities in the Mekong Sub-Region
- The communities most in need of educated leaders are usually the communities most unable to afford the cost of tertiary education for individuals
