Education Sponsorship
The Educational Sponsorship program covers girls from nursery to post high school studies including university education for those who wants to continue pursuing a skill or academic qualification to secure stable future for themselves and their family.
This program covers cost for 1 academic year that includes school fees, textbook, uniform and shoes, meals, stationaries and transport where applicable.
Other information are:
Semester 1 of academic year starts from middle of May and goes on for 20 weeks of studies.
Semester 2 starts from 1 week of November and goes on for another 20 weeks of studies.
For post high school studies, the costing varies depending on what the courses the girls are signing up for and which university/institution. Currently 5 girls are pursuing post high school studies.
Around Chiang Rai region, the top university is Mae Fah Luang University (MFLU) ranked 39 in the country and is more affordable compared to Chiang Mai University (3rd ranked) and Bangkok University (23rd ranked) https://www.4icu.org/th/
Those graduated from MFLU are almost certainly guaranteed to have a job and thus an ambition for the girls to strive for despite the stressful demand. Although some girls can make it to Chiang Mai University or Bangkok university, the cost is too high, and most will go to MFLU so other girls can have a chance for tertiary education as well.
Aside from degree courses, they may pursue other courses like nursing, languages, music arts and craft etc.
As the costing can be varies due to institutions' centres and length of course. It is hard to nailed down an actual amount for sponsorship and the Foundation has decided to fix it at a lower tier for whole academic year as follows:
Nursery / Primary School

THB 14,000 per student per academic year
Middle / High School
