Grants are given to Burmese nationals who are normally resident in Burma/Myanmar and who intend to return to Burma at the end of their studies. Awards are given to Burmese students studying in British higher education institutions. They are intended as supplements to other sources of funding and are applicable to a wide range of disciplines in the arts, humanities, science and technology.
Criteria for Awards - Information for Students
The Trust can provide help to student from Burma/Myanmar who are studying at either under or post-graduate level at a recognised British educational institution. Applicants must be citizens of Burma/Myanmar and normally resident there.
There is no formal application form but applicants must provide the following information:
* Details of their permanent address in Burma together with biographical details and a note on their intended career
* Details of their course or research project and a realistic estimate of its completion date
* Full details of their current financial position and of any awards that they have received from other sources
*Details of all other applications that have been made for financial assistance, both in the UK and elsewhere
*The name and address of their academic supervisor
Trustees will consider applications primarily on the grounds of academic merit. The Trust has modest funds at its disposal and cannot act as a source of primary funding. Support can be either towards fees or maintenance costs.
Please note that in normal circumstances, the Trust does not give grants to students already in receipt of full awards from any national or international agency. It will only consider requests from students originally funded in such a manner when the original award has expired and if there are exceptional circumstances. The Trust cannot make retrospective grants or pay debts.
Students who think that they are eligible should apply to the Secretary by letter or email giving the details as requested above. Applications for grants are considered at 6 monthly intervals, in June and December. All grants are given at the discretion of the Trustees whose decision is final.

Burma Education Scholarship Trust, Scotland, Supplementary Scholarship Program
Description
The Burma Educational Scholarship Trust, Scotland (BEST) was set up in 2003 to address primarily - but not exclusively - the needs of Burmese refugee students whose hopes and dreams of higher education were disrupted due to ongoing political instability inside Burma.
The main purpose of this programme is to support, in cooperation with likeminded organisations, disadvantaged students from the diverse communities living inside and outside their motherland, to achieve their academic goals, equipping them with skills required for a peaceful reconciliation and transformation of Burma.
Grants will be awarded on the basis of academic record; applicant’s long-term goals; and financial need. Specifically, grants are given to students who not only meet the programme criteria but who have demonstrated a willingness and commitment to utilise their academic knowledge to return to work on an ongoing basis for the democratic, social and economic rebirth of Burma, by whatever means they can.
The BEST programme has been specifically designed to provide a source of additional supplementary funds, to students who are enrolled in academic programmes at accredited colleges, universities, and community colleges leading to a degree (BA, MA, PhD, etc)
This current programme provides funding for up to one year of study. Students who receive funding for the 2006/2007 academic year must reapply for subsequent years.

Child's Dream Scholarship Program
Child’s Dream Association is a charity organisation dedicated to unconditional help for underprivileged children in the 'Mekong Sub-Region'. Our office in Chiang Mai / Thailand serves as a base to select local humanitarian projects providing relief to street children, AIDS orphans and, in general, to children exposed to extreme poverty.
Over the past 3 years, Child’s Dream has been supporting more than 30 different projects in the Mekong Sub-Region. Our projects range from nursery schools to primary and secondary schools up to high schools and junior colleges. We always knew that the educational cycle for the roughly 6’000 children in our projects was incomplete until we could offer scholarships to highly capable youths and allow them to continue their studies up to BA - or even MA - degrees. Highly educated youths will be future leaders, will promote tolerance and diversity and will contribute to a peaceful life in the communities.
It is our goal to significantly extend the program in the years to come by selecting more students for the subsequent academic years. The overall budget for the academic year (2006/2007) is approximately THB 1,710,000 (approx. USD 44,000).
Students interested in our scholarship program can download more information here.
At the moment Child’s Dream runs a very small scholarship program. For the academic year 2006/2007 we support 9 Burmese students who will get a full scholarship for the next 4 years. This is currently only a pilot program for us but if proven successful, we will consider supporting a new group of students for the academic
year 2007/2008 and thereafter.
If you are interested in being considered for the future expansion of the program, then please apply for a scholarship through SGPB (Supplementary Grant Program – Burma). Besides running their own scholarship program, they support us logistically by collecting and pre-screening applications for us. You can get all relevant information and download their application form through the following link:
Supplementary Grant Program - Burma http://www.soros.org/initiatives/bpsai
By submitting the completed form, you automatically apply for a scholarship with both organizations: SGPB and Child's Dream.
Please note that the application procedure will be open from January – March 2007.
