Chiang Mai University Graduate Student Scholarships

Chiang Mai University has allocated revenue funds to provide financial support to graduate students, both in Thai and international programs, who are conducting thesis research. The scholarships aim to attract high-potential students with strong academic performance to study at CMU while simultaneously working as a Teaching Assistant (TA) or Research Assistant (RA).
