paulfr Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) My wife's boy was number one in his school of 2400 upcountry. He was honored with a room filled with his awards over his high school career and 5 members of the MoE came one day to his school to evalutate him in competition for The Queen's award for the best 9 students in Thailand. He then was honored by receiving recognition and personally handed a plaque by the Prime Minister of Thailand in Bangkok last year. When he went to apply to Uni's, the big schools [Chula Tammasat] turned him down for some reason. Yet he was never offered a scholarship nor a loan at any of the other schools. Something seems wrong here. In the US, many schools would have been tripping over themselves offering scholarships and loans to have him enroll. My question is what is the status of scholarships and loans to poor farm country students. It seems to me most would need help of some kind, otherwise few would be able to attend. Did his school advisors let him down or is financial help not that common in Thailand ? Any information or personal experiences will be appreciated. Thanks Edited November 12, 2007 by paulfr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
