Damrongchaitham Foundation Announces 25th Cohort of Scholarship Recipients

The Damrongchaitham Foundation, led by Chairman Paiboon Damrongchaitham, has officially announced the 25th cohort of students selected for its 'Creating People, Creating Graduates' scholarship program for the 2026 academic year. This initiative provides comprehensive financial support for both educational and living expenses to high-achieving students facing financial hardship. A key feature of the program is that it imposes no conditions for repayment or service, with the foundation’s stated goal being to foster both academic excellence and moral integrity in the next generation.

Recipients include students from various prestigious institutions, such as Natthaphon Srisoi (Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University), Chawanlak Watwong (Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University), and Wanfiradae Waeteh (Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration, Chiang Mai University), who was also recognized as an outstanding youth in mass communication for 2026. The students expressed gratitude for the support, noting that it alleviates family financial burdens and inspires them to contribute back to their communities in the future.

For residents and expatriates, this program highlights the ongoing efforts of private foundations in Thailand to bridge educational inequality. While the foundation has confirmed the current list of recipients, details regarding the application process for the 26th cohort or potential expansion of the program remain to be announced in future cycles.
