We customise scholarships to fit students' needs.
Our scholarships are developed in consultation with local partners, to ensure cultural sensitivity with best possible outcomes for students, and their families, in mind. This customised approach allows us to find the best fit for students with regard to their home-life, access to school, personal interest in further education and life-skills programs.
Scholarships completed:
Vo Neat, a young Khmer woman, utilised our scholarship program to complete her final year of study in Bachelor of Information Technology, Build Bright University, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Scholarships in planning:
We have three scholarships we are currently implementing for students.
Our three students are all based in Siem Reap: Rith Kimsoun (Kimsoun), Hean Sokhun (Sokhun) and Kan Sokhadany (Dany).
Our sponsor program has funded Kimsoun into enrolment in an undergraduate program, TESOL, at Pannasastra University of Cambodia (PUC). Kimsoun’s aim is to become a ‘professional English teacher’.
Our second student in Siem Reap, Sokhun, recently completed her Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality and with our help has now moved on to study GEP Level 9A English Language at Australian College of Education (Siem Reap). Sokhun hopes to utilise her education to pursue a career in hospitality and tourism.
Also in Siem Reap is our third active scholarship for Dany, who, like Kimsoun, is now enrolled in an undergraduate program, TESOL, at Pannasastra University of Cambodia (PUC). This is a four year course.
Along with these three active scholarships we are also developing a scholarship package for a year 9 student, Rim Dalin, who lives in the province of Kompong Speu, located to the west of Phnom Penh. Dalin lives in rural Cambodia and faces significant financial hardship as a barrier to her desire for further education and a career in accountancy.
