Thailand Government Scholarship in Thailand

Country: Thailand Category: Graduate

Believing that global challenges are best addressed by a concerted effort, Thailand has, therefore, promoted sustainable development through fostering South-South cooperation and global partnership. It is in this spirit of constructive collaboration that we have offered training fellowships and postgraduate scholarships to developing partners across the world.

Today, in addition to fellowships and scholarships offered as part of bilateral and triangular development cooperation projects, TICA offers over 700 training fellowships and 70 postgraduate scholarships for government officials from developing countries around the world through Annual International Training Course (AITC) and Thailand International Postgraduate Programme (TIPP).

Thailand International Postgraduate Programme (TIPP) was introduced in 2000 as a framework in providing Thailand Government Scholarship at the postgraduate level for developing partners. Believing that knowledge sharing is an important pillar of South-South Cooperation, TIPP offers opportunities for Thailand and its partners to exchange their experiences and best practices that would contribute to long-term and sustainable development for all.
