Tertiary Education Scholarships

“I cannot repay the money HOPE gave me for the scholarship but I can work hard at university so I can get a good job in the future”.

Nary, Tertiary Education Scholarship recipient studying Mathematics at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.

In 2023, HOPE commenced the Tertiary Education and Vocational Training Scholarship program. In 2025, it will become a national scholarship program, and students who pass the National Year 12 Exam can apply for a scholarship to study in public education institutions in Cambodia. The scholarships are valid for 12 months and cover tuition fees and education resources (text books, documents etc) and are reinstated annually.

Many of the current tertiary scholarship awardees had primary and/or secondary education scholarships in the past. HOPE is working with the Ministry of Education to promote the Tertiary Education and Vocational Training Scholarships in all government secondary schools nation-wide, so that students from disadvantaged backgrounds can access higher education.
