Chonburi Sukhabot School handed
out scholarships to 1,750 students.
Chonburi Sukhabot School handed out more than 3.2 million
baht in scholarships to 1,750 students thanks to donations from nearly 300
area residents and foundations.
Director of Secondary Educational Service Area Office 18 Abhisit Ruenjit and
Chonburi Sukhabot Parent-Teacher Association President Jumruang
Phanphiensilp handed out the awards at the Chonburi school July 12.
Jumruang said the teachers screened and interviewed students and visited
homes to determine which pupils needed the most financial assistance.
Scholarships were provided by alumni, the PTA, the Thunitti Foundation,
other groups, and teachers, a total of 288 contributors.
Scholarship were broken into four categories: “promoting
outstanding students quota for students,” highest grade point average,
general financial assistance, and early education.
Fourteen students qualified for the first category, which rewarded the top
Prathom students in the area who had transferred to Chonburi Sukhabot. Each
received 3,000 baht.
Twelve students with the highest GPAs received 2,000 baht each, while 692
students received general financial support averaging 2,325 baht each. Early
education stipends of 1,500 baht for Mattayom students were granted to 1,000
students.
Abhisit said the large amount of donations shows the community supports the
school and has faith in its management and curriculum. He told the students
they should be proud the community supports them and that they should work
hard to justify that support. (CPRD)
