Pursue your education in Thailand. Good news! Applications for Thailand Government Scholarships are currently open. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of this scholarship program, its benefits, and the step-by-step application process.
Thailand Government under the Thailand International Postgraduate Program (TIPP) offers fully funded master’s scholarships to international students for 2026-2027. Thai government scholarships will cover living allowance, accommodation allowance, settlement money, book allowance, and thesis allowance.
Thailand International Postgraduate Program (TIPP) was introduced in 2000 as a framework for providing postgraduate scholarships for developing partners. Believing that knowledge sharing is an important pillar of South-South Cooperation, TIPP offers opportunities for Thailand and its partners to exchange their experiences and best practices that would contribute to long-term and sustainable development for all.
Aiming at sharing Thailand’s best practices and experience with the world, the AITC training courses and the TIPP scholarships focus on development topics of our expertise, which can be categorized under six themes, namely, Sufficiency Economy Philosophy: SEP, Public Health, Agriculture and Food Security, Climate Change and Environmental Issues, Bio-Circular-Green Economy: BCG Model and other topics related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which Thailand is proud to introduce as the highlighted theme. SEP has been added with an aim to offer an insight into our homegrown development approach, which is the key factor that keeps Thailand on a steady growth path towards sustainable development in many areas.
Through the Annual International Training Course and the Thailand International Postgraduate Program, TICA believes that we are doing our part to deliver Thailand’s contribution to a sustainable future.
