Cambodia Investment Review
Sathapana Bank, a leading commercial bank in Cambodia, is offering a fully funded scholarship program to five selected Cambodian students to pursue their four-year undergraduate programs at one university in Cambodia. The Sathapana Scholarship program is designed to provide opportunities for young and deserving Cambodian students who have a strong commitment to achieving their goals, regardless of their family’s financial hardship.
This fully funded scholarship will cover the full cost of four years’ tuition fees, English classes, 800,000 Riel monthly allowance, and a new laptop, ensuring they can continue and focus on their studies with peace of mind.
Commitment To A Long-Term Vision
“The Sathapana Scholarship program reflects our commitment to a long-term vision: building sustainable human capital for the country. We firmly believe that investing in talented, educated individuals is the most crucial asset for driving national prosperity and ensuring Cambodia’s future flourishes. I hope these students will become future leaders and, in turn, make a significant contribution to the country,” says Mr. Henk G. Mulder, Chief Executive Officer of Sathapana Bank.
“This year, we have selected five deserving students, and they will begin their freshman year at the National University of Management (NUM) soon. We created this program to ease the burden of financial hardship for students and their families, ensuring that their financial situation never becomes a barrier to academic potential. We are providing a clear path for five brilliant young students to achieve their dreams and have a bright future,” says Mr. Ly Salin, Chief Human Resources Officer of Sathapana Bank.
Sathapana Bank Always Stands With The Cambodian People
Amid the country’s tough times, among the five students, one is from Phnom Proek District in Battambang Province. She was directly affected by the conflict, and her family is currently residing in a refugee camp. Inmoments like this, Sathapana Bank always stands with the Cambodian people.
