We first met Nu in 2014 when he was studying mechanics at Sangkha technical school. Nu also had two older sisters both studying at university. Even with a scholarship from Fund Isaan his parents could not afford a third child going to university. Nu had to stop school until his sisters graduated. This could not stop Nu from accomplishing his dream.
From the first day we met Tee back in 2017 we knew he was a quiet but hard working young man. During his school breaks he worked at a petrol station, serving clients. Later he obtained a drivers license and drove a delivery van for 7/11. In May 2021 he graduated with a high certificate in Electrical Power from Prasat Industrial and Community Education College.
Nut received her first Fund Isaan scholarship in 2017 when she started her study at Boromarajonani College of Nursing in Surin. Nut has three siblings, her parents are farmers. Without support Nut would never have been able to continue her education and accomplish her dream to become a nurse. Boromarajonani college is known for its strict rules but also for the quality of its graduates.
Nat became a Fund Isaan scholarship student when she started her second year at Rajamangla University Surin, studying Computer Engineering (a five year course). From day one Nat told us her biggest dream was to become an IT teacher. Nat graduated in May 2021 with a bachelor degree in computer Engineering.
Fern graduated from secondary school at Kab Chueng Witthaya School in May 2021 with a grade of 100%! Fern became a Fund Isaan scholarship student in 2019. Fern was adopted when she was only one day old. She lived in a three bedroom wooden house with 15 people. Fern was under a lot of pressure to start working but thanks to the Fund Isaan scholarship she was able to finish her secondary school.
Sak has been a Fund Isaan scholarship student since 2017. His parents are farmers. He has one younger brother. Sak wanted to study computer science at Rajamangla University in Surin, but this was extremely difficult, not to say impossible, without financial support. That's when Fund Isaan decided to grant him a scholarship.
In his first years at university Sak struggled with his grades, but substantially improved in year four. Sak performed his internship at 45 company technology limited as a programmer.
Twice a year Fund Isaan pays its scholarship students their scholarship. Over the past weeks we paid our active students their scholarship for the first semester 2021 - 2022. Whenever possible we visit our students in person. It is always a pleasure to see our students strive.
This will allow our scholarship students to pay for their tuition fee in a timely manner and focus on their studies rather than worrying about their financials. This is especially important in these difficult times.
Our scholarship students did a great job making their own New Year cards for their sponsors. Here you see below our selection!
Despite the Coronavirus pandemic, Fund Isaan completed the scholarship hand-over for the second semester of 2020-2021 to all our active students.
This will allow our scholarship students to pay for their tuition fee in a timely manner and focus on their studies rather than worrying about their financials.
This semester we celebrate one early graduation; Nu, recently graduated with a bachelor degree in Mechanics Engineering from Rajamangala University of Technology in Surin.
Fund Isaan, sponsored by VZW Thaise Vrienden Wevelgem and Deloitte Southeast Asia (SEA), successfully installed six new computer classrooms between 8-11 of September, 2020!
