Dr. Kao Kim
Hourn proudly announced in August the advent of a new
scholarship program, the Samdech Decho Hun Sen’s Vision –
100 Scholarships, and the return of the Samdech Hun
Sen-Haruhisa Handa National Scholarships. Combined, the
scholarships will provide full four-year tuition for 600
senior high school students to study in their field of
choice at the University of Cambodia beginning in October
2008.
Aiming to
educate future leaders in all parts of society – whether the
government, public sector or civil service – the
scholarships focus on Cambodia's best and brightest students
who are willing to excel in the English language.
“All students
from the University of Cambodia get jobs. Job recruiters
come to UC before graduation,” said Dr. Kao during the
announcement of the scholarships. “But advanced English
skills will help students get better jobs.”
Applications for
both scholarships can be picked up in The University of
Cambodia’s Admissions and Registration Office. The deadline
