400,000 scholarships
A total of 400,000 Education Ministry scholarships will be made available this year for students whose parents don't earn much money.
Deputy permanent secretary Jaruayphorn Thorranin yesterday said the annual-household-income limit for applicants had been raised, from Bt50,000 to Bt60,000 this year. The number of scholarships being offered had also been increased this year, she said, with 340,000 new places this year. The 340,000 scholarships will be open to all, excluding those who automatically qualify for assistance, such as the children of government officials, blood donors or people who have received royal honours, she said.
