February 26, 2017

FIFTEEN students from the University of Yangon and the Yangon University of Economics on Friday have been awarded scholarships offered by the United Overseas Bank Ltd under its University Scholarship Programme.

Those recipients, including five students from YU and 10 from YUE, all of whom are in their first year of undergraduate studies, were chosen based on their academic achievements, language proficiency and career aspirations. According to the programme, the UOB will fully fund their tertiary studies.

“We hope that through the UOB University Scholarship programme, we can continue to help develop these young minds to their full potential and to give them the skills needed to contribute to Myanmar’s economic future,” said Mr Loi Kai Cheow, Executive Director and Country Manager, UOB Myanmar.

Launched in February 2015, the scholarship programme aims to help top students from all backgrounds, including those who are less privileged, to realise their potential. The programme has helped 45 outstanding students so far.
