Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between EFS Type A and EFS Type B, and which one should I apply for?
Type A is for PhD applicants only and provides a 15,000 THB monthly living allowance. Type B is for Master’s or PhD applicants and provides a 10,000 THB monthly living allowance. Both cover SIIT tuition and educational support fees (with some TU fees excluded) and include travel, miscellaneous support, and insurance.
Is it really “fully funded,” or will I still need to pay any university fees myself?
You should still budget for TU fees that are not covered, including the TU matriculation fee and TU educational support fees (which include service-related fees and a group insurance fee per semester).
Can I apply without IELTS/TOEFL, and what happens if I get admitted but still don’t submit a score?
Yes, you can apply without an English test score. But if you are admitted, you must submit an accepted English test score within your first semester. If you don’t meet the required criteria within that time, your student status can be dismissed.
Which English tests are accepted for SIIT graduate admission, and what are the minimum scores?
Accepted options include SIIT-EPT 65+, TOEFL iBT 32+ (including Home Edition), TOEFL ITP/Institutional 433+, IELTS 4.5+, TU-GET (PBT 400+ or CBT 32+), and TOEIC 600+.
Do recommendation letters have any special rules (like official emails), and how many do I need?
You need two strong recommendation letters, and at least one should be from an academic instructor/advisor. When you enter referees in the online form, use only your referees’ official/professional email addresses (from their institution/company/university). Personal email addresses are not accepted.
Can I apply if I already have another scholarship (from my government or another fund)?
No. You must not be receiving another scholarship while holding this scholarship.
After I get the scholarship, what do I have to do to keep it each semester?
You must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25, show good progress on your thesis/dissertation with a progress report each semester, and assist SIIT work for 30 hours per semester (mainly exam proctoring plus some lab supervision or tutoring).
How do the travel and visa supports work—do they pay upfront or reimburse, and what are the limits?
The travel support is for round-trip economy travel on the most direct route and is reimbursed based on actual expenses up to 20,000 THB per student. Miscellaneous support (such as visa fees and a one-time English proficiency test for graduation) is also reimbursed based on actual expenses up to 10,000 THB per student.
