Financial aid granted to families of deceased Thai military personnel
In the wake of the recent five-day conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, several Thai universities have stepped forward to support the families of the fallen soldiers.
Mahasarakham University of the Northeast is offering full scholarships to the families of Thai soldiers who died or were wounded during the fighting. The scholarships are granted to honor the sacrifice of the deceased individuals and to support their families. The offer was made by university president Prayuk Sriwilai.
Similarly, the National Institute of Development Administration is offering scholarships for families who wish to study at the Graduate School of Public Administration. The Thai top-ranked Chulalongkorn University is also offering full scholarships to the families of officers and civilians who died during the clashes. These scholarships cover the families' educational expenses from elementary and secondary grades up to bachelor, masters, and doctoral programs.
The scholarships offered by these universities are a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought for the country. However, it is unclear whether there are any other scholarships or educational support programs specifically targeted at families affected by the clashes.
Recent open-source data does not include explicit details about such scholarships. To gather more information, it may be beneficial to contact the Thai Ministry of Defence or Ministry of Education, universities located near the conflict zones or with military affiliations, and veteran support groups within Thailand.
In a heartwarming gesture, the school where Pinmook, the daughter of SM1 Teerayut Sijuijai, who died in the Chong Ahn Ma clash, is offering her acceptance to the nursing school without an examination if she chooses to pursue a career in nursing. Ms. Poolsak, a teacher at the school, believes that Pinmook has DNA full of sacrifice like her father, which will make her a good nurse too.
It is important to note that the offer to Pinmook does not specify whether it is related to the earlier scholarships offered by Mahasarakham University of the Northeast. Additionally, the post on Facebook by the director of the Ramathibodi School of Nursing did not specify any additional scholarships or educational support for Pinmook or her family.
The Chong Ahn Ma clash took place in Ubon Ratchathani, and the girl's father was a soldier who died in the conflict. The post on Facebook was likely expressing sympathy and support for the girl and her family during this difficult time.
In conclusion, while there is a lack of specific information about full scholarships offered by Thai universities or schools for families of fallen soldiers during the Thailand-Cambodia clashes, several universities have stepped forward to offer support in the form of scholarships. It is hoped that more information will become available in the future to help support the families of the fallen soldiers.
- The scholarships offered by Thai universities like Mahasarakham University of the Northeast, the National Institute of Development Administration, and Chulalongkorn University not only aim to honor the sacrifices of fallen soldiers but also encourage personal growth and learning, as well as supporting the education-and-self-development of their families.
- Beyond the scholarships offered by these universities, it remains unclear whether there are other specific educational support programs directed towards families affected by the Thailand-Cambodia clashes, necessitating further investigation through contacting relevant authorities, universities, and veteran support groups.
