Announcement of UMAP Scholarship 2009 From Thailand

Hey FBEPS'ian,
Below is the extract of the email I got from the UBD International and Public Relations office..

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you of yet another series of scholarships offered by Thailand to UBD as a member of UMAP .

I would be very grateful if you could inform your students of the availability of these Student Exchange opportunities, particularly as they take place during UBD's long vacation. The advertisement for these scholarships will also be put up on the IO Notice Board in front of the UBD Library. Your students can also come in to the IO for more information and explanation.


The UMAP Thailand Scholarships 2009 are initiated to promote student mobility between Thailand and its UMAP counterparts.

Students enrolled in UMAP member universities (of which UBD is one of them) are invited to apply for the UMAP Thailand Scholarships.

75 students from UMAP member universities will be awarded scholarships to attend any one of three four-week exchange programmes at Thai universities in the following courses:

1. Hospitality and Tourism Management Programme (25 students)
2. Immersion into Thai Cultures in Dynamic Contexts Programme (25 students)
3. Integrated International Business and Cross Cultural Programme (25 students)

Each of the four-week courses meets 6 hours a day, 5 days a week during July 13^th August 7^th, 2009 and is designed to provide UMAP Exchange Students with the knowledge and experiences in related fields in the Thai context, and also with the opportunities to understand Thai society, culture and people.

The brochures for the UMAP Thailand Scholarships 2009 and application forms are available from the International (and Public Relations) Office.

All applications must be sent through the UMAP member universities' International Offices, and must therefore be sent to the UBD IO latest by 1st May 2009 so that we can ensure that all the applications reach the UMAP Thailand before 15th May 2009.

Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted. All scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis and successful applicants will be notified of their status by 29^th May 2009.


Thank you for your attention.
